Massachusetts is reaching an agreement with ride-sharing companies Uber and Lyft over allegations they violated state wage and hour laws. 

The agreement requires that drivers be paid a minimum of 32-dollars and 50-cents an hour and be provided with a suite of benefits and job protections. 

Uber and Lyft will also pay 175-million-dollars to the state, most of which will be distributed to current and former drivers. 

Governor Maura Healy says the lawsuit was always about fairness for drivers, and the settlement will make sure they receive a fair wage.
