On Monday, the New York attorney general’s office announced a nearly $17 million DoorDash settlement after the popular delivery platform “[misled] both consumers and delivery workers” by pocketing its workers' tips to subsidize their pay.
In a press release obtained by TODAY, New York Attorney General Letitia James said an Office of the Attorney General (OAG) investigation found that DoorDash “used customer tips to offset the base pay it had already guaranteed to workers, instead of giving workers the full tips they rightfully earned” between May 2017 and September 2019.
