Instacart is campaigning against a City Council bill aimed at providing minimum pay protections for grocery delivery workers, warning of potential legal action if it is not vetoed. The bill, approved with a 36-5 vote, mandates minimum payment rates set by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, aligned with or above those for restaurant delivery workers. Instacart's media campaign warns of increased delivery costs and negative impacts on families and small retailers. Council Member Sandy Nurse denies Instacart's claims of harm to consumers or businesses, suggesting their tactics are misleading.
Instacart claims that a newly passed City Council bill establishing minimum pay for grocery delivery workers will have severe consequences and threaten legal action.
The legislation will require grocery delivery platforms to adhere to minimum payment rates set by the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection.
Instacart launched a campaign featuring advertisements across various media, warning that the bill would increase delivery costs and affect small grocery stores.
Council Member Sandy Nurse asserted that Instacart is acting in bad faith, using money for lobbying and advertising to misinform regarding the bill's impact.
