What a fucking nightmare of a website

Simply put, we screwed up,” the company said in a statement. “Our mistakes meant some Dashers were underpaid or paid late. While these mistakes weren’t intentional, that doesn’t make them okay.”
Absolute bullshit. Unintentional pay "mistakes" would also include a statistically huge percentage of overpayments, but when has that ever happened? What's more there's no question a significant portion of their drivers complained about the wage theft but Doordash ignored their "mistaken" underpayments until the city got involved.
This is systemic, deliberate wage theft that would have continued in NYC without Mamdani.
The Center and the Right gonna be stewing so hard off that image of Mamdani. He looks so very winning here, plus Trump had to be nice to him since theres an election coming up
Exceedingly Boss
That’s around $442 for each driver. Since they settled with the city, does that mean there’s no law firm that will get a cut of most of the money in fees?
I mean in new york thats very little but its a step. You cant fix everything all at once but considering everything this is a huge step. Finally theres a bit of good news with mamdani, magyar peter, the swedish right coalition losing, canada getting closer to the eu, etc. Just a few good things in this shitstorm
151 MILLION DOLLARS for people like ME? I can't WAIT to vote This SOCIALIST OUT! That money Belongs to RICH PEOPLE!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
Even the Republicans didn't vote Republican that election cycle. Trump told them to vote for the DemonCrat Andrew Cummo. So Staten Island lined up for him, in one of the most bizarre elections I've lived through.
To walk into Hempstead in 2024 and say "All of you will be Cuomo voters by the end of next year". Fuckin' A, man. What a joke.
It's amazing what politicians can do when they aren't fucking you constantly
Really showing that someone competent in office can actually achieve quite a bit
Let’s fine the shit out of companies that don’t pay their staff what they are required to though
*Reduces opportunity for worker exploitation.
I saw some comments like that, but without irony. Like "this will just make Doordash leave NYC".
If a company only works by exploiting people and breaking the law, that company should not exist, it's as simple as that. People will find other, healthier ways to get food into their homes.
Then they can leave and free up whatever resources they were using up, for someone who can run a business that doesn't exploit their workers. I don't know why we are supposed to fear a wealth extraction system if it leaves and stops extracting our wealth.
I live in NYC and I have no idea why anyone who lives here even needs the app.
Every restaurant that delivers has a menu and a phone number.
I would have been an abolitionist…party of Lincoln… BLM is racist…etc
or
I want to benefit off of human exploitation
Pick one.
Monitoring system of their pay practices is interesting, I assume if they fuck around after the settlement it would be more likely to bring criminal charges?
131m slaps on the wrist. where is the billions and in full with interest. these are so weak.
dd and uber lyft inflate prices by 20% all day everyday and also their commission cut of the fare is about 30-40%+ extremely high for a platform actually. 10% or less and time goes on should be the default not more and more take from the services while charging higher and higher prices.
131m is better than nothing but is a ongoing issue its not a mistake or a screw up it is deliberate criminal theft. shut the companies down and ban them completely there are replacements everywhere its not a loss. the workers would work on any platform introduced anyway as these apps provide almost no value.
If I were Mandani I would let all other companies low it is time to check their accounts and pay back anything missing voluntarily, then pass stupid large fines for any underpayment of workers
What billions? Article says drivers are being paid double what they were stiffed out of.
