sued the city over<\/a> a law that is set to require the apps to change their interfaces in order to allow customers the chance to set tips for delivery drivers before checkout. The new rule is set to go into effect later this month.<\/p>\n\u201cUnder Mayor Mamdani, the biggest corporations in the world will no longer be able to rake in record profits on the backs of workers and consumers,\u201d Levine said in a statement. \u201cIf these companies do not follow new tipping laws going into effect later this month, they will face significant consequences,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for DoorDash, which also donated $1 million to a political action committee that supported former Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s mayoral run, called the DCWP’s claims false and argued that food delivery workers earn nearly $30 an hour.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s really happening is the DCWP wants to pressure consumers to tip even more,\u201d DoorDash spokesperson Samantha Ramirez wrote in a statement. \u201cAs we\u2019ve said, forcing people to tip may as well be a tax.\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for Uber did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
Ligia Guallpa, the co-founder and executive director of the Worker’s Justice Project and Los Deliveristas Unidos, said the report shows New York City regulators are taking a harder stance against the delivery apps.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a new era where we have a mayor that will stand with the deliveristas and will use all their power to hold them accountable,\u201d Guallpa said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"City regulators on Tuesday accused Uber and DoorDash of deliberately altering their app interfaces to discourage customers from…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":515476,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-515475","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-new-york","10":"tag-new-york-city","11":"tag-newyork","12":"tag-newyorkcity","13":"tag-ny","14":"tag-nyc","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115893452625439541","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515475","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=515475"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/515475\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/515476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=515475"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=515475"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=515475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
