Honestly a bit crazy to me, seems to be creating this interesting exception, as if we all know most of these delivery workers aren't necessarily thinking like contractors. To me, setting a minimum wage for a particular kind of independent contractor is odd. It's almost as if its a détente between the city and the delivery app middlemen as far as employment goes.
If so, it's interesting as its technically an even higher in your pocket minimum wage, as most minimum wage workers can't deduct most their expenses as these workers will be able.
Are there any other lobbies or groups you're aware of that have a separate minimum wage from the standard enshrined into law, rather than a contract/negotiation?
