Here in New York, immigrant food delivery workers rallied outside the headquarters of DoorDash on Wednesday to demand the food delivery app cease its predatory labor practices, including wage theft. The protest was organized by Los Deliveristas Unidos. This is Santos Suc, a 25-year-old delivery worker who’s owed nearly $2,000 in wages by DoorDash dating back to 2022.

Santos Suc: “It’s not fair that they steal our wages. We want to work. We have families in our home countries, and our wages help support our families. … We are here to demand justice from DoorDash. They are multimillionaires, and it’s unacceptable that they owe us money. … We face many risks. People think our work is easy. It’s not. We risk our lives in the snow, in the rain, in the heat, in traffic. … My message to my fellow immigrants is: Do not be afraid. We have to keep going. We are here to fight.”

Earlier this year, DoorDash was ordered to pay nearly $17 million for unlawfully using customer tips to subsidize the wages of its delivery workers.
