A New York state judge issued a temporary halt to a new city law scheduled to go into effect next week, which requires minimum wage payments for app-based food delivery workers.
New York State Supreme Court Justice Nicholas Moyne on Friday granted the temporary stay after lawyers for Uber Inc., DoorDash Inc., Grubhub Holdings Inc. and Relay Delivery argued they could be irreparably harmed by the law, set to go into effect July 12.
