Mamdani blasts DoorDash CEO's 'greedy algorithm,' NY slaps company with $131 million fine
Summary
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced a $131.5 million settlement with DoorDash after the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection found the company had undercounted delivery workers’ time and underpaid them. DoorDash acknowledged the payment errors but said they were unintentional. About $115 million will go to workers, some receiving as much as $5,000; the remainder will fund penalties and software for documenting payment data. DoorDash must also provide worker-payment information to the city for three years.
