New York City’s groundbreaking minimum wage law for food delivery workers remains in limbo — months after it was supposed to go into effect — as the fight over the wage hike has only become more complicated.
“We are pleading with DCWP and City Hall, do not capitulate to corporate lobbying,” said City Comptroller Brad Lander, the original 2021sponsor when he served as a council member, in a morning rally at his office ahead of the hearing. “Do not allow DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber to continue to profit by paying subminimum wages to their workers. It's a violation of the law and it's a violation of what's right.
Sascha Owen, senior manager of government relations at DoorDash, said while the company didn’t disapprove of a minimum wage for workers, the proposed rate would lead to more than $200 million in lost revenue for restaurants and other local businesses each year on their platform. Josh Gold, Uber communications and policy director, said the revised rules force the company to "lock out" workers from their accounts during certain periods, as other similar apps do.
“All of us will be affected,” said Rodolfo Ministro. “Restaurant owners as much as us as deliveristas.”
