A lawsuit from several delivery companies has temporarily blocked a law that would’ve increased delivery drivers wages to $17.96 an hour or 50 cents every minute.
Topline
New York State Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Moyne handed a win to three delivery food giants and one local company Friday after they sued to block a New York City law that would’ve raised the minimum wage for app-based delivery drivers—like Uber Eats or Postmates—to nearly $18 an hour, temporarily keeping the law from taking effect and delivering a blow to the burgeoning movement for expanding the workers’ employment protections.Key Facts
Moyne ruled the law will not go into effect until after lawyers from the city and from the delivery companies—Uber Inc., DoorDash, GrubHub Holdings Inc. and Relay Delivery—make additional filings in the case, Bloomberg reported.
