New York City reached a settlement with the gig delivery platform DoorDash that will bring $115 million to the city’s drivers and create a new monitoring system of the company’s pay practices.
The deal resolves allegations that DoorDash underpaid more than 260,000 drivers. The city said it was the largest labor enforcement action in its history.
“When a worker earns a wage, they deserve to be paid that wage — not tomorrow, not after a lawsuit, but on time and in full,” Mayor Zohran Mamdani said in a statement Tuesday.
The settlement also includes more than $16 million in civil penalties.
131m slaps on the wrist. where is the billions and in full with interest. these are so weak.
dd and uber lyft inflate prices by 20% all day everyday and also their commission cut of the fare is about 30-40%+ extremely high for a platform actually. 10% or less and time goes on should be the default not more and more take from the services while charging higher and higher prices.
131m is better than nothing but is a ongoing issue its not a mistake or a screw up it is deliberate criminal theft. shut the companies down and ban them completely there are replacements everywhere its not a loss. the workers would work on any platform introduced anyway as these apps provide almost no value.
What billions? Article says drivers are being paid double what they were stiffed out of.
If I were Mandani I would let all other companies low it is time to check their accounts and pay back anything missing voluntarily, then pass stupid large fines for any underpayment of workers
