Seattle City Council considers rolling back "PayUp" ordinance minimum wage for app delivery drivers.
Seattle City Council faces scrutiny for considering rollback of the "PayUp" ordinance, enacted in Jan 2024, that gave app delivery drivers a $26.40/hr minimum wage and minimums for per-minute/mile work. Council may reduce wages to $19.97, city's min wage, and app companies claim $5 fee added to orders due to the ordinance. Critics argue not enough time has passed to assess the ordinance's impact, with the city council voting on changes on Tuesday.
