Big Tech shouldn’t get to rig policy debates with junk research.
Thanks to Mayor Mamdani, it won’t.
DCWP is launching a Research & Analytics division to expose corporate abuse, strengthen enforcement, and produce rigorous, independent research.
P.S. We’re hiring!
Wondering how working people can beat Big Tech? Ask a NYC delivery worker.
Since 2023, hourly pay has quadrupled and overall earnings have surged more than $2 billion. This was possible only because delivery workers spoke out, fought back, and won.

🎉 Congratulations to Audra, Steven, Rinu, Rashida and Pieter for their recognition at this month’s Customer Service Awards.
They exemplify the best of DCWP, elevating the standard for all city service.
We are so grateful to have them on our team!
Best in the business
Congratulations to DCWP’s Chief of Staff and Deputy Commissioner of External Affairs, Carlos Ortiz, for his inclusion on @CityAndStateNY's 40 under 40 list!

Tech should work for New Yorkers, not against them. The complaint portal we rolled out alongside @helloDCWP for NYC's NEW Click-to-Cancel rule represents a prime example of this belief put into action.
If you have a stubborn subscription, your first stop is nyc.gov/clicktocancel. We'll help guide you through the rest.

Bureaucracy cannot be the enemy of getting shit done. In that spirit, we’re introducing legislation, in partnership with @NYCMayor and @HelloDCWP, to cut red tape and empower the city to act faster against unconscionable business practices.
Samuel Levine retweeted
Cancelling a subscription shouldn't be this hard. If you can sign up with a click, you must be able to cancel with one.
Head to nyc.gov/click-to-cancel to file a complaint against any business that makes it hard to cancel a subscription.

Fine print shouldn't be a free pass—and under the POWER Act, it won't be.
It's time to put power directly into New Yorkers' hands and create a robust private right of action. DCWP looks forward to working with Chair @HarveyforNY and @NYCCouncil to pass this legislation.
Samuel Levine retweeted
When New Yorkers get ripped off, they should have the power to fight back.
We’re introducing the POWER Act to give workers, tenants, consumers, small businesses and nonprofits a legal pathway to take on unfair and deceptive business practices.
A tenant shouldn’t have to watch a landlord wrongfully withhold their security deposit. A consumer shouldn’t have to accept predatory loan terms. And New Yorkers shouldn’t have to rely on government alone to hold powerful corporations accountable.
We’re putting power back where it belongs: in the hands of New Yorkers.

At DCWP we are doing more than enforcing workers' rights.
We're standing with workers as they fight to expand them—from @amazonteamsters and the Delivery Protection Act, to @LosDeliveristas and historic deactivation protections.

The POWER Act would be a big for freelancers — including artists whose work is taken by platforms to train AI.
Independent workers increasingly face powerful companies on unequal terms. Giving workers the power to enforce their rights changes that equation.
NEW: @HarveyforNY is introducing a bill backed by @NYCMayor to give individuals a “private right of action,” or the right to file civil lawsuits against companies for unfair and abusive business practices, @danarubinstein reports:

❗ NEW: @NYCMayor introduces the POWER Act!
This bill empowers consumers, workers, small businesses and their organizations to directly fight for their rights against companies for unfair and deceptive practices, rather than rely on City enforcement alone.
