Illinois AG Agrees To Settlement With DoorDash Over Driver Tips

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul and DoorDash are agreeing to a settlement over delivery driver tips.  If approved by a judge, the more than eleven-million-dollar settlement will resolve allegations that the company violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act by misrepresenting to customers that tipping would increase drivers’ pay.  Raoul’s office claims DoorDash implemented a scheme to use the customer tips toward a guaranteed pay that DoorDash promised delivery drivers.  The proposed settlement includes relief for over 79-thousand workers who made deliveries in Illinois between July 2017 and September 2019.
