Clarissa Leon at the Documented reports according to recently released New York City data, the City’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) received a 260% increase in Worker Protection Complaints - increasing from 439 complaints in fiscal year 2023 to 1,581 in 2024.  The Mayor’s Management Report states App-based Delivery Workers, in part, have fueled the surge of complaints the DCWP has received.  Since the roll-out of the City’s Minimum Pay Rate Law for App-based delivery in December, which guaranteed Delivery Workers wages of at least $17.96 per hour, Workers have accused Apps like UberEats, DoorDash and Grubhub of failing to comply with the minimum pay rate.  During the first two months of the Law taking effect, DCWP received 500 complaints from Delivery Workers regarding violations of the law.
