New York City reaches a $131.5 million settlement with DoorDash over allegations that delivery workers were underpaid. Multiple outlets report it is the largest settlement of its kind in any US city. The agreement is set to provide compensation to a large group of couriers who worked for the platform.
The coverage says the settlement will affect roughly 260,000 to 264,000 delivery drivers, depending on the source’s figures. In addition to worker compensation, DoorDash also agrees to pay fines to the city. One report specifies DoorDash’s fines to the city at $16.7 million. The outlets focus on the scale of the settlement and the number of drivers covered, without detailing differing allegations or legal arguments.
