Seattle City Council President Proposes Lowering Minimum Wage for App Delivery Drivers | Eater Seattle

"After Seattle's ordinance raising the minimum wage for app delivery workers went into effect in mid-January, I observed DoorDash add a $5 fee to all Seattle orders; customers balked at paying it and many restaurants reported sharp revenue decreases. According to DoorDash, drivers make a minimum of around $26 an hour when they’re working (before pay for mileage and tips), and the company has said the 'regulatory response fee' helps offset costs associated with the law while hinting it would explore reducing the fee if reform legislation lowers those costs." - Harry Cheadle
