NEW YORK, Sept 29 — Three big companies in the gig economy — Uber, Doordash and Grubhub — lost a court battle yesterday in New York after a judge upheld a new minimum wage for app-based food delivery workers who became essential during the pandemic.
Judge Nicholas Moyne of the State Supreme Court put the new law on hold while he deliberated, but on Thursday he ruled against the plaintiffs and said the legislation could take force. “A living wage for thousands of workers in New York City is a huge achievement that will make huge changes for ‘deliveristas,’” said Gustavo Ajche, leader of a movement called “Los Deliveristas Unidos.”
DoorDash called the decision disappointing, saying the mandated wage hike was extreme and would “reduce opportunity and increase costs for all New Yorkers.”The new minimum wage is supposed to go up to US$20 an hour by 2025 for the city’s 60,000 app-based food delivery workers.
