THIS IS AMAZING: Mayor Mamdani just secured a $131 million settlement from DoorDash, the largest food delivery worker settlement in American municipal history, and delivery workers finally got the justice they’ve been fighting for.
Standing alongside delivery workers holding signs demanding fair pay, Mamdani made the announcement directly.
“DoorDash had underpaid more than 260K delivery workers across New York City,” Mamdani said. “Today, after years of corporate greed and impunity, we are holding DoorDash to account.”
Think about that number. 260,000 workers. Underpaid for years, with nowhere to turn.
“I am proud to announce that DoorDash will pay more than $131M,” Mamdani continued, “the largest settlement for food delivery workers ever secured in American municipal history, and a landmark win for those who have been mistreated and abused for years with nowhere to turn.”
Picture who this actually helps.
Delivery workers are out in every kind of weather, riding bikes through traffic, making sure millions of New Yorkers get their food on time. They’re some of the hardest working people in the entire city, and for years one of the biggest companies in the industry was shorting them on what they earned.
Now, real accountability. Real money, back in the pockets of workers who earned it.
This is what it looks like when a mayor fights for working people and actually wins.
