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.

      -LITERALLY Republicans!

      Even the Republicans didn’t vote Republican that election cycle. Trump told them to vote for the DemonCrat Andrew Cummo. So Staten Island lined up for him, in one of the most bizarre elections I’ve lived through.

      To walk into Hempstead in 2024 and say “All of you will be Cuomo voters by the end of next year”. Fuckin’ A, man. What a joke.
