(Bloomberg) — Uber Technologies Inc. is seeking to block a New York City rule on minimum compensation for app-based food delivery workers set to go into effect on July 12.
Uber told a New York state court on Thursday that its food delivery business Uber Eats was joining competing apps DoorDash and Grubhub in an effort to halt the rule by the city’s Department of Consumer and Worker Protection. Uber is asking the court for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the regulation.
The company said the rule would force the apps to shrink their delivery radius.
“If allowed to take effect, it will cause immediate and irreparable harm to Uber in the form of lost goodwill with couriers and customers and in the form of nonrecoverable costs,” Uber said in the filing.
