Zohran Mamdani: “We announce more than $5 million in penalties and…”

“I am proud to be joined here not only by our elected officials, but also by our Commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, Sam Levine, as We announce more than $5 million in penalties and restitution that will be paid by Uber, Eats, Fantuan and Hungry Panda to more than 49,000 delivery workers across this city. All three corporations basically did the same thing when deliveries or trips were canceled. They did not pay workers for time they had already worked, even though the law says that they must.” (05:07–05:19)
