Workers deserve to be fairly compensated for their labor. Last week, we returned nearly $70,000 in stolen wages to former KEP Construction employees who were working on the Upper West Side. Watch here to learn more!

Thank you, @helloDCW’s Commissioner @saalevine, for your leadership and partnership in centering workers’ voices and advancing policies that improve their lives. Together, we’ll keep fighting for the dignity, safety, and fair pay every Deliverista deserves! ✊🏽❤️
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. Read our full report!

Justice has been served for NYC construction workers cheated out of hard-earned pay. Wage theft is unacceptable. Thank you to @ManhattanDA for partnering with @NYSLabor to protect our workforce. If you’ve been underpaid, come forward—we have your back.

Delivery workers are an essential part of our street ecosystem, and their voices need to be heard as we develop solutions. Last week, we testified on how our historic delivery worker deactivation protections, championed by @LosDeliveristas, will help keep our City safe.

The #GigEconomy is reshaping work, esp. for young workers. New @CUNY/@workersjusticep study found 53% of delivery workers reported injuries, 40% severe psychological distress, & 52% feared deactivation for working too slowly. As work changes, protections must too. Study below↓

And of course, there would be no victory without the @LosDeliveristas leaders who organized and sounded the alarm on DoorDash. This has been a worker-led fight from day one—and we’re grateful for the @workersjusticep’s partnership.

Today was a long day. We were at City Hall from 10 a.m., standing together and making sure delivery workers’ voices were heard. Around 100 delivery workers came to testify and speak about the realities we face every day on the streets. In my testimony, I made one thing clear: workers must be part of the solution. We want safer streets, but we also need safe delivery zones, protected bike lanes, secure bike parking and charging stations, and strong labor protections that allow us to work without being forced to take unsafe risks. We left City Hall tired, but proud. We showed up, we spoke up, and we made our voices heard. ✊🏽 @LosDeliveristas @workersjusticep

Today at @NYCCouncil, 150+ Deliveristas waited all day to be heard on 20+ micromobility bills that FAIL to address our urgent needs or the root causes of unsafe streets. @NYCCouncil: We share the goal of safer streets, but today’s package FAILS to center workers’ needs. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

NEW REPORT: Driven by Algorithms exposes how delivery apps put deliveristas at risk. At @LosDeliveristas, we know street safety is worker safety. We demand real protections, safer streets, & a voice in shaping the policies that affect our lives. 1/5👇🏾 📖 bit.ly/Driven-by-Algorithms
