It takes a lot for workers to come forward to report wage theft. Because of the incredible organizing of Los Deliveristas Unidos and @workersjusticep.bsky.social, NYC workers have won important protections. But these are only meaningful if enforced.

Unsafe streets are an infrastructure failure—not an enforcement failure. On 3rd Ave in The Bronx, no bike lane means Deliveristas must ride alongside cars. NYC Council must address this as a worker safety issue and engage delivery workers in building the solutions.
"This bill will only intensify e-bike confiscation, racial profiling, massive deactivations, without addressing the infrastructure, the regulation, the lack of worker protections that workers need." — @ligiaguallpa.bsky.social, on the bill that would allow NYPD and DOT to seize non-compliant bikes

NYC delivery workers fear e-bike bills would bring more police stops, racial profiling
The City Council held a marathon hearing on Wednesday over a slate of proposals to rein in New York's growing ecosystem of e-bikes.

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. ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Both Z and @saalevine.bsky.social, who leads the Dept. of Consumer + Worker Protection, deserve much credit for this unprecedented settlement. But to understand what made this win possible, one must begin the story with the organizing by @workersjusticep.bsky.social's Los Deliveristas Unidos.
