A coalition of app-based delivery drivers is pushing the Seattle City Council to adopt city-wide labor standards and minimum wage thresholds for their industry.
The legislation builds on minimum wage protections passed by the council in 2020, which established a $16.39 an hour minimum wage for rideshare drivers, paying out $0.56 per minute and $1.33 per mile driven while transporting passengers. In practice, this new bill would set a $17.27 an hour minimum wage for most app-based delivery and service drivers working for companies like Instacart, Uber Eats, Rover, and more, while helping cover baseline expenses.
