New York will become the first U.S. city to implement a minimum wage for food delivery workers, requiring companies like Uber Eats and DoorDash to pay drivers at least $17.96 an hour. The new rule also calls for an increase to nearly $20 an hour in 2025.
“We owe them a debt of gratitude,” Adams said. “They delivered for us, now we’re delivering for them. It is the right thing to do.”
Another popular delivery app Grubhub said in a statement: “Unfortunately, New York City chose not to partner with the industry on a solution that would have benefited all aspects of the gig economy.” “Given the extreme rate, it’s likely there will have to be some unpopular changes to the platform,” Scheinholtz said. “When we when we really get down to it, this is really going to undermine the very delivery workers that this was sort of intended to help in some respects.”New York’s new rule does allow flexibility in how companies to pay their workers — they can compensate per trip, per hour worked or a combination of both — but no matter the choice, the earnings must amount to $17.
