Mamdani Administration Files Motion to Shutter Motoclick for Violating Delivery Worker Laws

Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Samuel A.A. Levine, Corporation Counsel Steve Banks, and the New York City Law Department filed a motion seeking a preliminary injunction to stop Patio Delivery, Inc., d/b/a Motoclick and its agents from operating in NYC unless they come into compliance with the City’s Delivery Worker Laws by paying workers the $22.13 per hour they are owed under the City’s minimum pay rate.

This injunction comes off a lawsuit filed in January by DCWP, which alleges that Motoclick paid workers below the legal minimum pay rate and stole directly from workers’ paychecks. DCWP estimates that Motoclick owes its workers millions of dollars in back pay. This year, DCWP has secured more than $9.3 million in restitution for NYC consumers, workers, and small businesses, including nearly $5 million for delivery workers.
