DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub sue New York City over minimum wage

DoorDash, UberEats, and Grubhub sue New York City over a new $18 an hour minimum wage for delivery drivers

Uber, DoorDash, and Grubhub are suing New York City to block a new law they claim will impair the delivery economy.

Alberto Mendes has been a delivery worker for two decades and believes the law gives delivery companies more agency to determine workers' schedules.
