NYC Councilman Shaun Abreu is proposing a bill that will make it easier to tip deliveristas on food delivery apps.
It's a two-measure bill:It was supposed to be a big win for delivery workers in New York City, but a new law requires that they be paid a certain wage. This has come with some unintended consequences, including one of them being that they earn fewer tips.As of last week, app-based food delivery workers are getting $19.56 an hour.
and now at 3 p.m. he’s only made $63. He told FOX 5 that people would tip him $10 to $15 for each delivery. Today he made $3."Minimum wage only exists for people who for delivery starts who are working active time. So if you're waiting on an order, for instance, and you're in the waiting portal, you're not getting minimum wage. You only get minimum wage for active-time work. That's when you're delivering the meal from door to door.
