Four food delivery services sued New York City Thursday over a new law that would raise the minimum wage for app-based delivery drivers, according to The Associated Press.
Uber, Relay, DoorDash and Grubhub filed three lawsuits to the state Supreme Court, with DoorDash and Grubhub filing jointly, to have a temporary restraining order placed to prevent a new minimum wage increase that is set to go into effect on July 12, according to the AP.
The suit comes after Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced June 11 that delivery service companies will be required to pay NYC’s more than 60,000 delivery drivers a new minimum wage of $17.96 an hour, up from an estimated $7.09 currently.
