Seattle City Council may revise delivery pay law following restaurant, gig worker pushback

Описание: Seattle City Council seeks to make changes to a controversial delivery pay ordinance following months of pushback from restaurants and gig workers who report a loss of income as a result of the new rules.

The PayUp law enacted Jan. 13 was supposed to ensure minimum wage paid by companies including Doordash, UberEats, and Instacart, but restaurants and customers have said it backfired.

“Fight the Fee” was the message many food delivery workers displayed on signs in front of a city council committee on Thursday. They were referring to the roughly $5 added fee put onto customers. That's for delivery companies like DoorDash and UberEats to cover increased operating costs under the new law requiring delivery workers to make $26.40 an hour, plus mileage and before tips.

A few drivers said it's working for them.
