    CT Spring Break

    When most people think of spring break, they think beach time! But Spring Break doesn’t always have to consist of a group of people flocking around in a bikini. The point of Spring Break is to let loose and relax after half a year of working hard to achieve some major goals. Wonder what are some major benefits of relaxing during spring break?

    • Recharge your batteries. The purpose of spring break is to slow down and recharge so that when it is over, you will be able to stay focused on your goals. Let’s face it, we are not robots and from time to time, we all need to stop what we are doing and take a break.
    • Mental Health. Getting away from the world helps to give our mind a break. Getting up every day and continuing to grind out our tasks can be mentally exhausting. The main objective to retrieving a mental do over, is by not continuing to do these everyday tasks that exhaust your mind.
    • Physical Health. Physical health doesn’t necessarily mean running on the treadmill for an hour every day. Physical health is simply taking care of yourself and tending to the needs of your body. For example, getting a full night’s sleep or taking the time to eat properly.
    • Enjoy Life. When you look back at all of your years of life that are now behind you, one thing that you don’t want to regret is not living your life to its fullest. Make sure that you take a break and just enjoy life with the ones that you love before it is too late.

  • Uber Makes $20 Million Settlement

    Uber Settlement
    Uber Settlement

    Ever see the Uber commercials that are floating around promising their drivers high earnings? Don’t have a car? No problem! Uber even offers to lease you a car so that you can start earning money right away. But how true are these allegations?

    Uber Allegations On The Front Page

    Uber has been accused of making false promises to drivers about how much they would earn and how much they would have to pay to finance a car. The FTC alleged that most Uber drivers were earning far less in 18 major U.S. cities than Uber published online. Regulators also asserted that drivers wound up paying substantially more to lease cars than the company had claimed. “Many consumers sign up to drive for Uber, but they shouldn’t be taken for a ride about their earnings potential or the cost of financing a car through Uber,” said Jessica Rich, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.

    A Settlement For Uber

    Uber has settled out $20 million to settle these allegations. In a statement, Uber said it’s pleased to resolve the dispute. “We’ve made many improvements to the driver experience over the last year and will continue to focus on ensuring that Uber is the best option for anyone looking to earn money on their own schedule,”

    Uber-Driver-Lawsuit-Image

    the San Francisco company said. The agreement was announced Thursday. These allegations came from statements Uber made from late 2013 until 2015 in the effort to attempt to recruit more drivers to expand its service and remain ahead of its main rival, Lyft.

    A statement published on Uber’s website from May 2015 through August 2015, CEO Travis Kalanick boasted that the mid-range annual incomes of the service’s New York city drivers exceeded $90,000 and the mid-range annual earnings of its San Francisco drivers topped $74,000, according to the FTC. The agency’s investigation determined that the mid-range income for the New York drivers was nearly one-third less, at $61,000, 28 percent less in San Francisco, at $53,000, during the year leading up to Kalanick’s statement. In August 2015, Uber revised its statement to specify its estimates reflected drivers’ “potential” incomes in those two cities. The FTC says less than 10 percent of Uber drivers in New York and San Francisco hit the income levels circulated by the company.

    Another allegation was that Uber referred people to car financing programs that charged more than what the company promised.

    The settlement was approved by the FTC in a 2-1 vote. The dissenting voter, FTC Commissioner Maureen Ohlhausen, objected because she didn’t believe Uber’s actions harmed consumers.

    Drive In Style

    Get from point A to point B in a luxurious private car service. Choose from many different vehicles to suit your style. Don’t know how to reserve a car service? Just choose from one of the following reservation options below to be on your way to cozy and comfortable ride.

  • 3 Female Chauffeurs Get Awarded $130K Each!

    In this day and age females can do just as much as men can do and some fail to realize that it is illegal to discriminate against one for the gender. Well obviously some companies did not get thatfemale_driver memo and it cost them a pretty penny!

    Three chauffeurs, Gretchen Cooper, Barbara Herold and Lisa Boutelle filed suit in Minneapolis in 2012 for gender discrimination after being “let go” from their chauffeur jobs because a Saudi prince (Prince Abdul-Rahman bin Abdul-Aziz) wanted only male drivers. These women were among the 40 hired drivers to transport the prince and his entourage around. The Saudi prince was here being treated at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. It was said that his entourage told the company that the prince only wanted male drivers. In his country, women are band from driving.

    gravel_image2 of the 3 companies involved have settled with the woman. The women received $100,000 each for mental anguish and suffering under the Minnesota Human Rights Act. Judge Erickson doubled the $15,000 that each woman sought for wage loss, to $30,000, but did not grant punitive damages, saying that while the defendants may have acted unlawfully, the women bringing the lawsuit had not shown they acted with “deliberate disregard or malice.”

    Well we hope that the lesson has been learned for all those visiting this great Country of America that we are all equal.

  • A San Francisco Cab Company Blames Uber For Their Bankruptcy

    Since the launch of the famous Uber app, we can definitely say that we have noticed transportation companies taking on a huge strain financially and going out business. This has seemed to San_Francisco_taxihappen in many of the metropolitan cities around the U.S.

    Today’s Taxi Failure

    Here is just one of the companies effected by the launch of Uber in 2012. On Friday, San Francisco’s Yellow Cab cooperative filed for bankruptcy protection. One would assume that the Yellow Cab’s financial struggles came from a personal-injury damage award rather than a fight for business with Uber but court documents state otherwise. Within the reason for the Chapter 11 filing it states worsening business conditions. The business still plans on operating business as usual.

    Dying Taxi Industry

    uber_imageIn a city as congested as San Francisco you would think that the taxi industry would never die out. Even watching movies, tourist expect that feeling of hailing for a cab on their visits as a must thing to do. With today’s technology that feeling has diminished and we now have apps that literally do everything! In an attempted to save the business, Yellow Cab has even made it’s on taxi hailing app called “YoTaxi”.

    I think it’s time we work together as a team. Check out the video below and even comment your opinion!
