DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub sue New York City over a new $18 an hour minimum wage for delivery drivers
Some drivers at DoorDash and Grubhub supported the New York City pay bump, but others say it will actually mean less pay and freedom.
Uber shaking in their boots now that they have to pay minimum wage, on top of already having a business model thay actually makes no sense and makes profitabilty impossible.
Tech bros big mad when they can't continue to exploit a workforce and have to play by the rules. "How can we disrupt if we can't cheat and steal from our workers and customers?"
Those shit acre silicon carpetbaggers can get infini-fucked.
How does this change flexibility? If you’re online to drive, you get paid. If you don’t, you won’t get paid.
Am I missing something?
From the article:
"They shouldn't have done this," Mendes told Insider. "Now they'll make us work whenever they want. Even though we're not employees, they're going to schedule us."
But also from the article:
Yet, many drivers pushed for the minimum wage, including the worker collective Los Deliveristas Unidos, who also advocated for recent laws that allow drivers to use restaurant restrooms and set delivery perimeters. One reason they advocate for higher wages is to cover the costs of gig work, such as vehicle repair, gas, tolls, and injuries. A 2022 report by the city found that delivery workers have high rates of injury while on the job.
My understanding is that they are only getting paid the minimum wage while they are actively servicing an order. If they are online but waiting for something to come in they don't get anything.
Good fuckin' luck trying to convince a judge or jury that a city isn't allowed to set a minimum wage.

LOL good luck with that.
It's only unflexable because the companies want endless growth. Obviously this would get in the way of endless growth. So they will push it on to the employees to keep trying to achieve endless growth. I think I'm noticing the real problem here.
