Seattle City Council seeks to make changes to a controversial delivery pay ordinance following months of pushback from restaurants.
An App-based delivery worker waits outside of a restaurant that uses app deliveries on July 7, 2023 in New York City. Seattle City Council seeks to make changes to a controversial delivery pay ordinance following months of pushback from restaurants and gig workers who report a loss of income as a result of the new rules.
“It is working as intended, and it has improved my life," one driver said during the public comment period of the Thursday meeting. But changes could be on the way. Among the proposed revisions discussed at the council is to adjust the minimum wage requirement to just under $20 an hour, meeting Seattle’s minimum wage, plus .35 per mile. Many drivers are not on board. A few people in chambers said they disagree with any effort to scale back on labor protections for gig workers.
