Seattle City Council members are considering minimum pay rates for app-based delivery drivers, opening up the floor for public comment to hear both sides of the debate on the pending legislation.
Seattle City Council members are considering minimum pay rates for app-based delivery drivers, opening up the floor forThe city and the state already have minimum standards in place for ride-share drivers like Uber and Lyft. The Pay Up legislation expands that top set minimum pay and per-mile standards for those working for companies like Uber Eats, Door Dash, and Instacart.
DoorDash reported revenue at $4.89 billion in 2021 which is up 69% from 2020, according to revenue data. Uber Eats reported $5.8 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2021. Instacart’s 2021 revenue grew 10% year-over-year to $1.65 billion. The company’s valuation is $24 billion, up from $17.7 billion a few months prior.
“The base pay isn’t enough for a livable wage,” said Shelby Hansen, a gig worker for Rover. “Forcing people to accept low wages is another way to disenfranchise people and force them into poverty, and poverty affects us all.” A representative of Seattle Restaurants United shared the same sentiment, stating “gig workers need protection too.” SRU is a coalition of 240 local bars and restaurants in Seattle. It was created in 2020 to help restaurant owners and operators stay in business during the pandemic.“The sharing economy has provided critical, flexible work opportunities for millions of Americans and thousands right here in Seattle,” said Justin Hyer, the Director of Government Affairs for Shipt.
The city council will meet again over Pay Up legislation May 24 as council members will discuss the amendments they want to bring forward.
