New York City delivery workers have pocketed more than $104 million in tips since a January law forced apps like Uber Eats and DoorDash to stop hiding the tipping prompt, city officials said at a Battery Park press conference on Wednesday.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Department of Consumer and Worker Protection Commissioner Sam Levine, City Council leaders and an organizer with Los Deliveristas Unidos announced the figure and tied it directly to the rule change. Before the law, tips had cratered to a low of 93 cents per delivery, according to the officials. The city now projects the change will put roughly $180 million in additional earnings in workers’ pockets by the end of the year.
