"Uber Eats and DoorDash hid tip buttons and set default tips below 10%. As a result, tips for delivery workers fell 79%," Mamdani wrote on X. "In January, we made these corporations change their apps."

Not on board with this, JUST PAY THEM A PROPER WAGE.

Tipping culture is stupid.

While I share the sentiment, he doesn't have control over Federal wage laws. Ensuring that being tipped sufficiently is the norm is about the best option he has to protect tipped wages. I'm not sure if he can somehow ban tipped employment within the city or not. If he can, maybe that'll be planned in the future.

It depends on the state. In Nebraska, two of the largest cities are fighting a legal battle over whether they can raise minimum wage to meet a ballot initiative that the unicameral watered down.
