Have they? The linked article did not make this claim. I'd be very interested in sources studying what percentage of ride share driver's supported this law.
I also haven't seen any studies of percentage of drivers that support/oppose this rule. MULDA (https://mulda.org/) is the group of drivers pushing for this ordinance.
There are clearly many people who both want to drive for these companies and want to rules in place to ensure fair pay and working conditions. It is not an either/or.
"many" is a nebulous statements. "Many" could be less than 1% of drivers. If you want to make the claim the this is supported by a large, or even significant, segment of drivers you need to make a proportional claim.
I never made that claim. I wrote that the ordinance was pushed for largely by drivers. I made no speculation on the proportion of drivers.
Nor have you. You have made the assumption that accepting the terms of employment implies that drivers accept/support the companies position in this conflict. I see no evidence for that.
> the ordinance was pushed for largely by drivers.
This, too, is baseless. Plenty of people who aren't drivers support legislation like this. Neither the claim that most drivers support this legislation, nor the claim that this legislation has been mostly supported by drivers is substantiated.
