Seattle to lower minimum pay for app-based delivery drivers

A vote to amend a controversial law meant to ensure a minimum wage for app-based workers in Seattle was passed by the Seattle City Council Thursday.

Since the pay ordinance went into effect in January, many restaurants and drivers have told KOMO News it has backfired and led to fewer customers placing orders.

The law that went into effect requires delivery workers to make $26.40 an hour plus mileage before tips.

The Seattle City Council passed some revisions to the current law, in which workers would get paid just under $20 an hour plus 35 cents a mile. Not all app-based delivery drivers are on board.
