Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash and Relay filed lawsuits against New York City, seeking to stop a law that sets the minimum wage for food delivery drivers. Supporters of the legislation say workers on the platform currently earn $11 an hour, after expenses, which is $4 less than the base wage set in the Big Apple. The law, which goes into effect on July 12, plans to set a wage of $17 an hour.
