Rivals Uber Technologies Inc., DoorDash Inc. and Grubhub Inc. joined forces in suing New York City to block a new rule on minimum compensation for app-based food delivery worker, arguing it will hurt couriers and customers alike.

In a pair of lawsuits filed Thursday in New York state court, the three asked for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction against the regulation until the court can rule on the merits of their arguments. The rule is set to go into effect on July 12.
