New York City has implemented a minimum wage rule requiring Uber Eats delivery drivers to be paid at least $17.99 an hour. This change has led to a significant drop in order volume by 45% and a 69% decrease in the average salary of Uber Eats drivers. Additionally, Uber has started locking drivers out of its app during periods of low demand to combat the wage rule, resulting in some drivers experiencing a 50% reduction in their wages. Lyft is also considering similar measures. Delivery workers have expressed concerns about the difficulty in receiving tips since the wage increase. The new wage rules have caused frustration among consumers, a decline in restaurant orders, and an exodus of drivers.
