0:51Now PlayingMamdani wants NYC delivery workers to be prepared for ICE.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Friday that his administration has secured a more than $5 million settlement with three delivery app companies. The money, which includes both backpay and civil penalties, will go to nearly 50,000 delivery workers who Uber Eats, Fantuan, and HungryPanda underpaid in 2023 and 2024.
As part of the new deal, Mamdani said that Uber has also agreed to reinstate up to 10,000 workers who were wrongfully deactivated.
During his interview, reporter Noah Lanard also spoke to Mamdani about what he believes the city can do to ensure that New York’s largely immigrant delivery workers are protected from another potential threat: ICE.
“We have to inform every single New Yorker—and that includes delivery workers—of their rights,” the mayor said.
“When you get a knock at the door,” he added, "someone tells you that they are an ICE agent, you do not have to let them in your home unless they provide you with a judicial warrant signed by a judge. It's not instinctive. It has to be informed. It has to be taught. It has to be shared.”
