NYC releases new working conditions for food delivery workers
New York City will soon become the first-ever municipality in the US to set baseline working guidelines for food delivery workers from services like DoorDash, Grubhub and Uber Eats. Mayor Bill De Blasio is set to sign six new bills this week, which if successfully signed could impact 65,000 app-based food couriers. The new measures would require companies to:
- Coordinate with restaurants to make sure that delivery workers could use their bathrooms while waiting for orders.
- Pay delivery workers once a week, without charging a fee.
- Provide free insulate delivery bags to workers after they have completed at least 6 deliveries.
- Allow workers to choose a maximum distance that they are willing to travel for deliveries.
- Clearly mention on the platforms what percentage of the customer's bill goes to the worker as a tip.
New York City's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection will be studying the working conditions of the delivery workers and will also draft rules for minimum payment amount per trip.
