A drop in the minimum wage for app-based delivery drivers was one of the first proposed laws before a new City Council. It still hasnt passed, despite support.

Seattle proposal would roll back wage increases for delivery drivers and other gig workers that passed in January.

App delivery companies block workplace improvements by spending big on political influence, and even co-opting progressive language, argues a new report.

Seattle City Council is considering a proposed ordinance related to app-based worker labor standards that advocates say would harm gig workers in Seattle.

The Seattle City Council is deciding whether to pass a new law that would adjust its prior PayUp bill that went into effect in 2022.

Workers are standing up to the council's assault on their wages and benefits.

If the Pay Up policy widened the gap between the “winners and losers,” then the council could shape policy to uplift bike couriers instead of effectively or entirely tossing out the law.

"It is common to wait 30+ minutes for an offer to come in," testified Lynn Reed, representing Drive Forward, a group of delivery drivers and advocates.

Less than two months after it took effect, the City of Seattle is looking at changing its controversial gig worker pay law.
