Food Delivery Driver Apps filed a lawsuit against New York City, aiming to stop the new law that requires Food Delivery Driver Apps companies to pay their delivery workers $17.96 an hour.
The three Food Delivery Driver Apps companies are seeking a temporary restraining order to stop the law
DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber are the Food Delivery Driver Apps companies that filed a suit against New York City to stop the law that pays delivery workers an hourly rate of $17.96. The new minimum wage law of New York makes them the first major city to set a wage floor for Food Delivery Driver Apps companies.
The Food Delivery Driver Apps companies that account for nearly all the food deliveries in New York City filed a lawsuit last Thursday to stop a new wage law before it is set to take effect.
If the raised wage effect, the Food Delivery Driver Apps companies will pay an hourly rate of $17.96 to more than 60,000 delivery workers.
The Food Delivery Driver Apps companies argue the city did not accurately survey the Food Delivery Driver Apps industry and workforce
The Food Delivery Driver Apps suits were filed separately in Manhattan Supreme Court. The Food Delivery Driver Apps challenged a law that made the hourly rate $19.96 by April 2025. The Food Delivery Driver Apps also emphasized their operating costs, equipment, and insurance.
