DoorDash is implementing additional fees in Seattle the company deems necessary. However, critics say DoorDash is extorting the city.
DoorDash is implementing an additional $1.99 fee on certain long-distance orders, the company announced via a news release on Wednesday. In addition, DoorDash said it is implementing a $1.99 minimum service fee for orders from DashPass subscribers. DoorDash said the fees are needed because the Seattle City Council has yet to compromise on new minimum wage increases in effect.
The ordinance went into effect in January and gives app-based workers the right to minimum pay based on the time worked and miles traveled for each offer, the right to upfront disclosures of offer information and the right to receipt and payment records.
Unfortunately, certain members of the council have let us know that they are unwilling to compromise, and have rejected legislation that would have drastically reduced costs, eliminated the $4.99 regulatory response fee, and helped increase earnings for Dashers and local businesses. “Tens of thousands of workers are like, what’s happening?” Hannah Sabio-Howell, communications director for Working Washington, told The Seattle Times in June. “It’s a weird and obscure purgatory we’re in right now. We’d like to be collaborative, and we’d like to be helpful.”“ undermines its own credibility when it tries to say things like this new $2 fee, that previous $5 fee, are necessary for operational costs,” Sabio-Howell told KIRO 7.
