Food Delivery Companies Sue to Block New York City's Minimum Wage Law for App Workers

Uber, DoorDash, Grubhub, and Relay are suing New York City to block minimum pay standards for gig workers.
The new pay standard would require gig platforms to pay food delivery workers about $18 per hour of active time, increasing to $20 per hour by 2025.
Delivery workers currently make around $11 an hour, according to the city's estimate.
The lawsuit is part of a larger conflict between gig companies and labor activists over worker compensation and treatment.
A judge has temporarily delayed the implementation of new minimum pay standards for app-based food delivery workers in New York City.
