Food delivery apps DoorDash and Grubhub filed suit Thursday seeking an emergency ruling to block a city-mandated wage hike for drivers set to take effect next week, new court papers show.is part of the City Council’s 2021 mandate on minimum hourly wages for food app delivery drivers.get paid a minimum of $17.96 an hour
The apps called the pay raise “onerous” and said it “threatens to single out and punish” DoorDash and Grubhub — and also threatens the industry as consumers will likely have to pay $5.18 more per order, which will hurt restaurants and ultimately hurt the drivers who would wind up with less business, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit Thursday.
“We – and others – clearly and repeatedly warned the city that using such a flawed process to underpin its rulemaking would have lasting and harmful impacts for all New Yorkers who use these platforms, but the approach that DCWP took was sadly not one that reflected this, and has left us no choice but to take our concerns to court,” the statement concluded.
