What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

DoorDash agreed to pay $131.5 million to settle allegations that it underpaid New York City delivery workers. The legal dispute began after the City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection accused DoorDash and Uber Eats in January of costing workers over $550 million through changes to their tipping systems. A city report found that average tips dropped sharply after changes were implemented in December 2023. DoorDash acknowledged mistakes in its payment system, stating that some workers were underpaid or paid late.
