Food delivery app couriers don’t even make the state’s minimum wage of $15 per hour currently, and the multi-million dollar companies they work for are pursuing legal action to ensure they won’t reach that point. Ali Velshi explains why it is necessary these couriers who were once deemed essential, get paid fairly. - Aired on 07/09/2023.

1. Isn't capitalism wonderful? When you can screw the less poweful with cheap labor?

2. I remember how exorbitant rents were in NYC when I visited years ago

So it must be out of the reach of so many residents now. It's even gone up incredibly here Upstate.

3. You prove my point if you have capital you are safe in this monetary system

but if you don't expect to be treated unfairly

4. I admit that I'm clueless about the NYC economy

But is food delivery a legitimate career choice?
Do these people expect to support themselves delivering people's food to them?

5. Yes. Many are immigrants and deliver, using bicycles.
