A New York State Appeals Court has ruled that New York City can require app-based companies like Uber Eats, DoorDash, and GrubHub to pay its delivery workers a game changing $17.96 per hour. This minimum wage will increase to 18.96 per hour in April 2024, and finally it will increase to $19.96 per hour in April 2025. The new rule may positively impact the lives of New Yorker’s thousands of delivery drivers.
The importance of this law stretches beyond the boundaries of New York City. With New York City leading the way, other cities across the United States may soon follow and ensure that the hundreds of thousands of delivery workers for these app-based food delivery companies are being paid a living wage.
