“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

DoorDash made a deal with the New York Attorney General’s office to pay about 17 million dollars as compensation for delivery workers the company stole tips from. From May 2017 to September 2019, DoorDash had used tips that customers paid online to cover part of the workers’ base pay.
But the money DoorDash is supposed to pay comes to $1.50 per delivery—surely less than the amount it stole from its workers!
DoorDash is a huge company: it is valued at 81 billion dollars, and it controls 60% of the online food deliveries in the U.S. And DoorDash’s biggest shareholders include some Wall Street giants such as BlackRock, the Vanguard Group, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase.
So, this is how Wall Street billionaires make their fabulous fortunes: stealing from workers who are not even paid the minimum wage.
