""Mayor Adams's vetoes were another example of him prioritizing Trump's agenda above our city by disregarding the work of his own administration on these bills and harming working-class New Yorkers," Speaker Adrienne Adams said in a statement. "The Council is again acting as the reliable leaders in our city to advance pay equity and a sustainable delivery industry, while protecting our residents from Trump administration abuses. The Council's override of the mayor's senseless vetoes enact these laws that advance and protect the working people of our city.""
""When you order groceries on an app, they don't magically appear at your door," Nurse said. "Behind every delivery is a worker trying to earn a living and put food on the table. Intro 1135 simply guarantees that grocery delivery workers earn a minimum wage. Today, we say no to poverty wages and to a mayor who has abandoned working people.""
The City Council overrode two of Mayor Adams's vetoes: one requiring grocery delivery apps to pay the same minimum wage as restaurant delivery apps, and another criminalizing street vending. Speaker Adrienne Adams accused the mayor of prioritizing national political interests and harming working-class New Yorkers, and framed the overrides as advancing pay equity and protecting residents. Delivery industry expert James Parrott publicly supported the override, and Council Member Sandy Nurse emphasized that Intro 1135 guarantees a minimum wage for grocery delivery workers. A new poll showed the mayor finishing last in the mayoral race and found 59 percent support for congestion pricing.
