The fight for fair wages in delivery work has intensified in New York City as tech companies are allegedly undermining the new minimum wage law. Wilfred Chan's article for The Guardian sheds light on how delivery apps are making it harder for customers to tip, potentially punishing workers. The piece also highlights the retaliation by companies like Uber and Doordash against delivery workers who organized and secured a minimum wage. This comes as delivery work in NYC is identified as one of the deadliest jobs, with over 65,000 workers demanding fair compensation and protection from big tech interference.

📰 A must read piece at the @guardian by @wilfredchan. “These companies have no intention of making this job a good job. These companies have become greedier and greedier, and now they’re shifting around their systems to exploit workers.” - @LigiaGuallpa https://t.co/pDTcqxtrWh
Great work from Wilfred here digging in how nasty delivery companies have got after being forced to - gasp! - pay a minimum wage for their workers, including hiding the place for customers to tip, something that makes absolutely no sense other than to punish workers https://t.co/1CtWOtU2VC
