"Boost in Tips for Food Delivery Workers as City Takes Aim at Deceptive Practices. In a significant shift for the gig economy, food delivery workers in the city have seen a substantial increase in tips following the enforcement of a new law designed to crack down on "deceptive" tipping practices by major delivery apps. According to reports, the workers have raked in an additional $104 million in tips since the law's implementation, a move hailed by supporters as a major victory for workers' rights. The law, championed by Mayor Mamdani, aims to hold delivery apps accountable for their tipping structures, which critics argue can leave workers with meager earnings. As the city continues to navigate the complexities of the gig economy, this development could have far-reaching implications for the future of work and labor protections."
