Watch @MayorofSeattle, @OLS_SEA, and @workingwa join app-based drivers as they announce the Uber Eats settlement of nearly $4.4 million returned to over 14,000 gig workers for alleged violations of Seattle's App-Based Worker Minimum Payment Ordinance.

We build everything while they steal from us.
This #MayDay, we rose up to reject exploitation, white supremacy & stop the billionaire takeover.
Solidarity is our strongest weapon. Join the movement.

All Deliveristas deserve a minimum pay. The best way for New York to honor us as essential workers is by delivering a minimum pay now. We can’t wait any more.
Today @doordash deactivates many of my colleagues and close their accounts without a pay. While the apps make billions, we keep relying on tip as the only form of pay for our essential work.

INBOX: Cathy Moore says there's still time to pass her capital gains tax that failed out of the budget committee. She's asking supporters to call and email CMs Rob Saka and Tanya Woo to demand a "yes" vote at full council tomorrow

Incredibly grateful to my union for this award, which was for being part of the fight to stop the Seattle city council from cutting drivers pay. I absolutely was not alone in this, and grateful to @DriversUnionWA and everything @workingwa has done to keep PayUp alive!

So proud that we submitted 6,000 signatures to the Burien City Clerk today in support of raising the minimum wage! Watch our press conference below. #RaiseTheWageBurien

INBOX: In an unironically based moment, Rep. Gerry Pollet returns a $600 donation Doordash made to his campaign because the company is lobbying to repeal minimum wage standards in Seattle.

Delivery apps use fees as political advertising. They price gouge, then label the exorbitant fees in a way that blames minimum wage laws.
Where's the 'Stock Buyback Fee' or 'Executive Yacht Fee'?
Here's my @MorePerfectUS video on this from last week:
DoorDash has to recoup the **$1.5 million** it has spent in failed lobbying against gig workers' minimum wage, so it's gotta gouge customers to foot the bill?
The $1.5 million the company has spent would've saved 304,420 customers $5 junk fees.🧵⬇️

@k8riley just to let you know that Michael Wolfe doesn’t represent myself, nor any other gig worker, as he is an executive of Drive Forward, a nonprofit organization funded by Uber. Which makes him have an obvious bias against the betterment of the drivers he supposedly reps.

We're proud to support workers in Seattle who are fighting for fair pay. And we're tired of these companies engaging in lies and unfair competition to turn consumers against workers. That's why we filed an @FTC complaint against @DoorDash + @Uber for illegal junk fees in Seattle.

All workers deserve a decent wage. All means ✨everyone✨.
Workers in MN just showed the nation that when workers stand up-- and their elected officials stand with them-- bullying app corporations stand down. Solidarity to Seattle delivery workers!

DoorDash and Uber claim their fees are necessary due to a new Seattle ordinance. Here's the problem: the fees are a shame. Here's more from our ED @daveyseligman on these junk fees. /1

Today, we filed an FTC complaint against DoorDash and Uber alleging the companies have systematically charged Seattle consumers illegal “junk fees” to drive profits and turn consumers against workers. Full complaint below. /1

Wayne Barnett, executive director of Ethics & Elections Commission, told
me he has not had anyone ignore his advice in 20 years.
BREAKING: CM Tanya Woo has been advised to recuse herself from the gig worker minimum wage vote. She's looking for a second opinion, but without her, Council President Nelson may not have a fifth vote to pass her repeal.
