Vilda Vera Mayuga, commissioner of New York’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, said the city’s law is designed to support delivery workers. Pay would be adjusted annually for inflation. The law, which was announced last month, would increase pay for app delivery workers to $17.96 per hour before tips on July 12, and raise pay again to nearly $20 per hour in April 2025. We – and others – clearly and repeatedly warned the city that using such a flawed process to underpin its rulemaking would have lasting and harmful impacts for all New Yorkers who use these platforms,” DoorDash said. “We will not stand by and let the harmful impacts of this earnings standard on New York City customers, merchants, and the delivery workers it was intended to support go unchecked. In a statement to CNN, DoorDash called the law “bad policy,” though it said it was not opposed to a minimum wage for delivery workers.
DoorDash and Grubhub filed a suit jointly to the Supreme Court of the State of New York, while Uber - the parent company of Uber Eats - filed its lawsuit separately. Food delivery platforms DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats are challenging in court New York City’s new minimum wage law for app food delivery workers.Īll three companies sued the city, maintaining that the law would hurt delivery workers more than help them.
