NYC Mayor Mamdani Hints at Continued Crackdown on Delivery Apps Like Uber Eats and DoorDash
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that the city's crackdown on deceptive tipping practices by food-delivery platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash has resulted in an additional $104 million in tips for delivery workers since January. Mamdani stated that the city forced these corporations to change their apps after they hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%, causing a 79% drop in tips. The city reports that tips have doubled since the protections took effect, with 70,000 delivery workers on track to earn an average of $2,287 more annually. Mamdani emphasized that this is only the beginning, noting a $5 million settlement with Uber Eats and increased funding for enforcement. He declared that the days of accepting corporate abuse are over, signaling further actions against delivery apps.
