TakeawaysThe New York City Council voted to override the mayor’s vetoes and enact two bills extending pay and other protections to app-based grocery delivery workers. This legislation included protections such as preventing food delivery apps from charging food delivery workers fees to receive their pay, permitting food delivery workers to use restaurant bathrooms, requiring food delivery app companies to make insulated bags available to delivery workers, and creating greater transparency for workers about their tips and pay. (See NYC Council Passes Bills Expanding Minimum Pay Protections to App-Based Grocery Delivery Workers for more information on the protections afforded by these laws.) The new legislation, particularly extension of the $21.44 hourly minimum pay rate to grocery delivery workers, has sparked strong reactions among elected officials, delivery app companies, and delivery workers. Although some lauded the legislation for boosting grocery delivery workers’ wages, others criticized the measure for its expected impact on grocery prices.
