DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber sued the city, saying the law would harm customers and delivery workers.
Recently, local governments have attempted to bolster platform gig workers’ protections. In June, New York City announced a minimum wage of $17.96 for app food delivery workers. DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber sued the city, saying the law would harm customers and delivery workers. Earlier this month, a judge temporarily blocked the law’s enforcement. In 2020, California passed Prop 22, which allows ride-hailing and delivery drivers to be treated as independent contractors with some added benefits, including a minimum earnings guarantee.
