   DCWP official credits expanded enforcement for settlement

   DCWP's Samuel Levine said the Mamdani administration's investment in investigators, data scientists and lawyers over its first nine months enabled the enforcement action; Al Jazeera also detailed the settlement's breakdown, including $6.6M in payments that never reached drivers.

   “By investing directly and bringing in the best lawyers, investigators, data scientists, and economists to the government, we can cut through a lot of the noise, identify violations when they happen, and put money back in people's pockets.”

     No one is stopping other municipalities from adopting a similar rule. But that would require mayors and boards to stand up to corporations and at this moment in time only the “communist” NYC administration is willing to do so.

     DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We're making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

   DCWP investigates DoorDash after driver complaints — The city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection opened a probe after dozens of drivers said DoorDash failed to pay them on time or at all; a review of millions of pay transactions found thousands more had been underpaid.

6. backgroundDec 15, 2023

   NYC's minimum pay rule for delivery workers takes effect — Under Mayor Eric Adams, New York City created a first-of-its-kind minimum pay rate for app-based delivery workers, initially $17.96/hour, rising toward $19.96/hour by 2025; DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber were all required to comply.
