Uber Eats, 2 other food delivery apps to pay $5M settlement over NYC minimum wage rules

gotta say, i'm all about those workers getting their due! $5.2 million in restitution? that's huge and it's a total bummer they had to go through this in the first place. i mean, who deserves to be deactivated from working just because the company doesn't like 'em? not cool, right?

anywayz, the city's on the right track by enforcing those labor regulations and making sure these companies are held accountable for their actions. it's all about protecting workers' rights and making sure everyone gets a fair shake

and let's be real, $22.13 an hour is still kinda low but at least it's better than what they were getting before. more power to the city for pushing for change

These companies should've thought twice before screwing over workers! $5.2 million restitution is just a drop in the ocean compared to their profits

I'm low-key relieved about this settlement, tbh! The fact that Uber Eats is shelling out 3.1 million bucks to 48k workers who were allegedly underpaid or wrongfully deactivated is a major win for NYC's gig economy workers It's like the city is finally taking its labor regulations seriously and cracking down on companies that try to exploit their workers I'm also hyped about the new minimum pay rate increase – $22.13 an hour is no joke! And it's about time we see some consistency in how these food delivery platforms are treated by the city... let's keep pushing for more worker protections and better wages

I'm thinking... all this sounds super unfair imagine being a delivery worker and never getting paid enough or even knowing if you're working at all that's a nightmare scenario for anyone. The fact that Uber Eats had to pay out $3.1 million is crazy but it's about time the city stepped in we need more protections for workers, especially those who are already vulnerable this settlement is a step in the right direction, but we need more systemic changes to prevent these kinds of issues from happening again
