NYC Delivery App Tipping Law Upheld by Federal Court
A federal judge has rejected a last-ditch effort by Uber and DoorDash to block New York City’s new law requiring prominent in-app tipping options for delivery workers. The ruling, handed down on Friday, ensures the legislation will take effect on Monday, putting more money in the pockets of tens of thousands of delivery workers.
the court decision comes days before new legislation takes effect on january 27, 2026. It requires that users be given the option to tip delivery workers at checkout, instead of after placing their orders, and sets the default tip to at least 10%.
Ongoing Efforts to Support Delivery Workers
This ruling supports the city’s ongoing efforts to regulate wages and working conditions for delivery workers, including setting minimum wage requirements in recent years. Earlier this month,city regulators accused Uber and DoorDash of costing delivery workers more than $550 million by altering their apps’ interfaces to discourage tipping.
