'For years, us couriers were missing out on many benefits that we need and that we should have received from the start,' said Shawn W. Gray, a Postmates driver.
Postmates has agreed to pay its Seattle workers almost $1 million in a settlement over allegations that it violated a city policy surrounding sick leave pay for gig workers.
"For years, us couriers were missing out on many benefits that we need and that we should have received from the start," said Shawn W. Gray, a Postmates driver, in a City of Seattle press release.

The city council has temporarily extended the measure.
