New York City has announced revised minimum pay rules for rideshare drivers, approving a 5% wage increase following opposition from Uber and Lyft to an initially proposed 6.1% hike. The city's Taxi and Limousine Commission unanimously approved these new rules on June 25, which also include protections to prevent driver lockouts from Uber and Lyft apps. Separately, the New York City Council passed legislation to establish minimum pay rates for grocery delivery workers, aligning their wages with those of food delivery workers. This legislative package aims to enhance pay, safety, and workplace protections for delivery workers across the city. Additionally, the Council approved measures to support tenants displaced by emergencies, improve mental health and housing assistance for foster youth, and increase transparency regarding deaths in Department of Correction custody, NYPD investigations, and environmental toxin exposures related to 9/11. Mayor Eric Adams is expected to implement these new policies amid ongoing housing and labor challenges in the city.
