Judge halts NYC minimum wage law for gig drivers

CPI reports:

“Our delivery workers have consistently delivered for us — now, we are delivering for them,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams said when announcing the law. “This new minimum pay rate, up by almost $13/hour, will guarantee these workers and their families can earn a living, access greater economic stability, and help keep our city’s legendary restaurant industry thriving.”

On the day of the announcement, DoorDash responded with a blog post in which it said the policy will have unintended consequences and will undermine the workers it aims to support.
