Big win, led by @workersjusticep.bsky.social, for NYC's delivery workers and against the oligarchs 👏

Remember to tip before you hit the submit button on your DoorDash / Uber Eats order.

And please tip well, for the avg $2.17 tip/order even before the tech bros changed the apps doesn't seem enough!
We won! Deliveristas’ tipping option is back at 10%! 🙌

DoorDash + UberEats must show the tip upfront—New Yorkers, show love when ordering takeout this snowstorm!

This was made possible by Los Deliveristas Unidos, @CMShaunAbreu, @NYCCouncil & @NYCMayor —TY!
