"Delivery workers, advocates celebrate in Times Square new labor rights taking effect Monday," 23 Jan. 2022

... The delivery worker collective Los Deliveristas Unidos and the immigrant worker advocacy group Workers Justice Project organized the event that was a mix of celebration and a know-your-rights campaign, praising the new regulations as a move toward fairer conditions in the gig economy.

“[We] have demonstrated that it is possible to rewrite the rules of the delivery app industry and it is possible to guarantee labor protections throughout delivery workers,” said Ligia Guallpa, executive director at the Workers Justice Project. “We will continue to organize and transform this industry.”

... Apps must tell the workers how much a customer tips and detail their total pay and gratuities they got for the previous day, according to the Department of of Consumer and Worker Protection.

The new rules also give better bathroom access to workers at restaurants for which they deliver.

... Starting on April 22 [2022], more law changes will give workers better control over their routes, provide greater pay protections and transparency, and require apps to give a free insulated food bag after six deliveries.

The city must also study a new minimum pay rate set to be released at the beginning of [2023].
