DoorDash is considering litigation to fight back.
The new pay rate bumps workers up from their current $7.09 per hour minimum wage, and when it reaches its full rate, it amounts to a near-tripled base pay for more than 60,000 food delivery workers in the city, with annual inflation-adjusted raises. Ligia Guallpa, executive director of the Worker’s Justice Project, said in an email to, “We’re proud to have secured this historic victory for delivery workers.
“We welcome this wage increase that many of our members organized for, so that this city begins to properly value the delivery workers’ labor, their experiences, and risks,” said Kazi Fouzia, director of organizing for Desis Rising Up & Moving . “And we remain vigilant to ensure that delivery app corporations do not maneuver to undermine workers by cutting hours or orders or exploit other loopholes.”The DCWP press release detailed how the pay increase will work.
DoorDash’s estimate only works if you don’t count the time Dashers are waiting idly, which the DCWP found is of their workday — in other words, using DoorDash’s figure, someone who spends six hours of a 10-hour shift on trips would end up with just under $20 per hour. And as Scheinholtz noted, “It’s up to the companies to determine how it’s paid out,” giving them alternatives to paying per trip minute.
