NYC's DoorDash settlement is just one part of Mamdani's big swing against delivery apps
Mayor Zohran Mamdani finished what Eric Adams started with DoorDash. Here's what's next in NYC's delivery app crackdown.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been on a campaign to regulate major delivery companies, with the recent $131.5 million DoorDash settlement being a notable win. This settlement follows a pattern of policies aimed at improving gig worker pay and safety, which former mayor Eric Adams' administration had begun. By targeting large companies like Amazon, DoorDash, and Uber Eats, Mamdani's administration is pushing for stricter regulations and worker protections in the delivery industry.
While business leaders worry that increased regulation could hinder job growth and local investments, worker advocates are pushing for even tighter protections. The administration has already secured similar settlements with Uber Eats and Hungry Panda, and has sponsored a new Deliverista Hub in lower Manhattan for app-based delivery companies.
Mamdani's approach involves a combination of legislative action, policy development, and supporting union efforts to enhance worker safety and financial security.
