DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued Gopuff in March 2025 for misclassifying delivery workers as independent contractors since 2014. The lawsuit alleges Gopuff controls workers like employees—hiring/firing them, setting pay, requiring physical presence at fulfillment centers, and controlling hours—while denying minimum wage, overtime, sick leave, and workers' comp. The AG seeks back wages, damages, and civil penalties. Gopuff called the allegations inaccurate and vowed to defend "the right to earn as independent contractors."
