If you’ve ordered takeout during the pandemic, chances are you’ve tapped into the gig economy. As this industry has exploded, one city is stepping up to ensure the rights of delivery workers are preserved and protected.
The New York City Council recently passed a six-bill legislative package focused on providing protections to the city’s food delivery workers, according to the council. The bills — which have already been sent along to Mayor Bill De Blasio — will amend the administrative code of New York City and will target questions relating to the treatment of gig workers, including payment policies, bathroom access, and distance and route limits.
