Twenty twenty four was the first full year that delivery workers earn a dignified pay, and the impacts are outstanding with wages earned increasing by $700,000,000 collectively.

In just a couple of weeks, the NPR will increase to $21.44 to reflect an inflation adjustment so that those who work so hard to keep us fed are able to care for themselves and their families.

I'd like to also thank council members Nurs and Gutierrez for their proposals to expand minimum pay rate to more of our city's delivery workers with their legislations introductions eleven thirty three and November.
