This is excellent news. DoorDash taking legal action, however—I wonder (if they choose to take legal action) if that will postpone / stop this policy taking effect or if delivery companies will simply leave the city.

I thought California did this years ago?

Prop 22 went into effect on December 16, 2020. If you’re dashing in California, here’s a quick breakdown of how Prop 22 impacts your experience:
When you dash in California you earn at least 120% of minimum wage (based on the local minimum wage at the pick-up location) for active time on the platform (time spent on a delivery, starting from when you accept an offer to when you complete it), plus $0.34 per mile during active time, when driving a motor vehicle (for example, a car, motorcycle, motor scooter).
Keep in mind:
Guaranteed earnings are just a minimum.
If you earn more than this, you always keep the entire amount.
Tips don’t count toward your guaranteed earnings. >
Awesome, I just finished reading the book Two Wheels Good and Rosen makes an interesting comparison between the deliveristas of NYC and the impoverished rickshaw-wallahs of Dhaka.
I'm glad to see conditions will improve for the delivery workers.
It’s real bleak that we have to fight for the right to get paid min wage. Governments ability to regulate is slipping away to corporations.
Fantastic news!
