A judge has blocked New York City’s minimum wage law for food delivery workers from going into effect on July 12 until there is a hearing for a lawsuit filed by DoorDash and Grubhub against the city
. The law, announced last month, would increase pay for app delivery workers to $17.96 per hour before tips on July 12 and bump up the minimum wage to nearly $20 per hour in April 2025. Delivery worker pay would also be adjusted annually for inflation. However, a lawsuit filed jointly by DoorDash and Grubhub to the Supreme Court of the State of New York alleges that the city’s new law would damage their businesses and harm delivery workers more than it would help them.
We hope that this puts us on the path towards the city establishing a more reasonable earnings standard that reflects how these platforms are used by New Yorkers,” the company said. DoorDash had previously called New York City’s law “bad policy.” Grubhub also said it was pleased with Friday’s decision and that the company “looks forward to presenting our arguments and explaining why the City’s rule, while well-intentioned, is the result of an arbitrary and irrational rule making process.
