Internal documents show that Grubhub, a delivery app owned by Wonder, subcontracted labor to lower paid workers to save money.
Grubhub ‘Outsourced’ Delivery Work To Skirt City Minimum Wage, Docs Show
Grubhub, a major food delivery platform, allegedly used subcontracted delivery workers to bypass city minimum wage laws by classifying them as independent contractors, exploiting labor policies rather than technical vulnerabilities. This practice affects thousands of delivery workers in cities with higher minimum wages and risks legal penalties for wage theft violations. The company's financial gains come at the expense of worker rights and compliance with labor regulations.
