City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams intends to override the mayor's veto of a bill aimed at closing the "Instacart Loophole". This legislation mandates equal minimum pay for grocery delivery workers and restaurant delivery workers. The mayor vetoed this bill and another worker protection bill, arguing that they would increase grocery prices. However, Speaker Adams countered that the vetoes are anti-worker and clarified that the legislation would not result in higher grocery costs, emphasizing that any additional fees benefit Instacart's profits rather than consumers.
The mayor's vetoes are anti-worker and anti-working class. The hypocrisy of his claims are on full display for all to see.
Despite Instacart's efforts to deceive the public, these bills do not increase the cost of groceries. Any added fees are about padding Instacart's own profits.
The two bills will expand the restaurant delivery worker minimum pay rate to include all gig-economy delivery workers, no matter what they are picking up and dropping off.
Grocery prices are already too high, so now is not the right time to do anything to drive these prices even higher.
