DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub have sued New York City over a new law that sets minimum wages for food-delivery workers.
The law requires companies to pay workers around 50 cents for every minute they spend on a trip or a minimum of $17.96 an hour for the time spent active on each app.
The companies argue that the new pay rates could be significantly higher than the minimum wage set for other industries and that compensating workers for time spent online is flawed.
