Read previewSince January, gig delivery workers in Seattle have been reaping the benefits of a local law mandating a certain pay level.
Under the proposal, gig workers would be paid an hourly rate of $19.97 for their time spent retrieving and delivering orders.
Instead, gig workers would get paid 35 cents per mile — down from the current 74 cents.
In emails and calls to action sent to gig workers, DoorDash, Instacart, Uber, and others have claimed that there are fewer orders for gig workers to claim.
Seattle City Council President Nelson did not respond to a request for an interview from Business Insider.
