App-based food delivery workers are feeding us. But we're starving them.
It doesn't have to be this way. We are letting the gig companies do it.
So let's change the rules. A few thoughts on how. 1/6 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/30/nyregion/bike-delivery-workers-covid-pandemic.html

Best way: Federal or NYS law to make clear they are employees. Like CA passed, before Uber/Lyft blackmailed & bought their way out.
I support @jessicaramos & others fight to win employee classification & labor rights in NYS.
But NYC is not helpless. 2/6 https://twitter.com/jessicaramos/status/1333567256387854336?s=20

In 2018 @NYCCouncil passed my bill requiring $17.22/hr minimum wage for Uber & Lyft drivers.
The law is working. The app companies have paid their drivers over half-a-billion more.
It does not apply to food delivery workers. But we could make it. 3/6 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/01/technology/uber-wages-new-york.html

The @NYCCouncil could apply our paid sick leave to cover them, too. Food delivery workers, for-hire drivers, nail salon workers. Right now.
Sick leave. Like you might need in, say, a pandemic. Or just if you had the flu. Or your kid did. 4/6 https://www.politico.com/states/new-york/albany/story/2020/03/19/lander-presses-for-expedited-paid-sick-leave-law-for-gig-workers-1268182

Uber/Lyft/Doordash are using monopoly power to bully us. To earn massive profits by cheating workers of pay, protection & benefits.
We don't have to let it happen. @USProgressives @stateinnovation @LocalProgress: How about a competition to see who can protect gig-workers? 5/6
