"Seattle Delivery Driver Ditches Apps to Pursue Independent Business Amid Wage Law Changes"

Tony Illes, a 30-year-old delivery driver, started his own delivery service, Tony Delivers, after experiencing a drop in demand due to increased fees from delivery apps following a minimum wage ordinance in Seattle. The ordinance aimed to protect gig workers but led to longer wait times for drivers and decreased business for restaurants. The city and app companies are at odds over the impact of the ordinance, while gig workers like Illes are finding ways to adapt and build their own businesses in response to the changing landscape of the gig economy.

"Delivery Apps Raise Fees in Response to Seattle's Minimum Pay Law"

Seattle's new App-Based Worker Minimum Payment Ordinance, which requires minimum payments to app-based workers, has led to higher delivery fees from services like DoorDash, Instacart, and Uber Eats. The ordinance guarantees workers a minimum payment based on time and distance traveled for each offer, resulting in increased costs for companies. In response, these delivery services are raising prices, curbing benefits, and warning of adverse effects on drivers, consumers, and merchants. Uber and Uber Eats anticipate a loss of orders for small businesses and diminished work opportunities for drivers, while Instacart is ending certain perks for its shoppers in Seattle.
