Overview

• Seattle's new minimum pay law for app-based delivery drivers has led to increased fees for customers using services like DoorDash and Instacart.
• The law, which took effect on Saturday, requires a minimum payment for workers based on the time worked and miles traveled for each offer.
• In response, companies have raised their prices and made changes to their services, including limiting benefits and reducing service options.
• Instacart and DoorDash have criticized the law, stating that it will result in reduced orders for businesses and fewer opportunities for delivery workers.
• The law is part of a wider effort to increase wages for gig workers, with similar legislation being considered at the federal level.
