DCWP issued this statement on Amazon, Uber and Instacart’s lawsuit against NYC’s Delivery Worker Protection laws.
New Yorkers deserve safe streets and delivery workers deserve due process and dignity.
ALT New York City deserves safe streets and delivery workers deserve dignity and due process. Local Law 34 is part of a comprehensive approach to secure both of these tenets, ensuring that app-based delivery platforms cannot force workers to choose between safety and their livelihoods. DCWP will not back down from protecting the rights and safety of all New Yorkers.

Just last month, DoorDash couldn’t seem to find the money to pay their deliveristas — until our administration forced them to give back $131M+ in stolen wages and penalties.
This week, they’ve managed to find $17 billion to acquire one of their main competitors.
Corporate consolidation means higher prices, harsher exploitation, and greater economic inequality for New Yorkers.
We’ve stood up to these giants before. That doesn’t stop now.

💌 It’s Customer Service Month at DCWP!
To spread the love, team members sent each other thank you notes across the agency.
We are so grateful to have such a strong team.
DCWP issued this statement on DoorDash's potential purchase of Instacart. ⬇️
No matter the outcome, New York City will continue to enforce delivery workers' rights without fear or favor.
ALT This proposed merger continues a troubling trend of mega-corporations consolidating while working to divide workers and consumers. Whether or not this merger proceeds, we will fully enforce delivery workers’ rights. We have no tolerance for corporate shell games designed to evade accountability.

Crecí en un mundo que Dolores Huerta ayudó a construir. Cada vez que un trabajador de esta ciudad se organiza por un salario justo, cada vez que un inquilino, un repartidor o una niñera alza la voz para exigir algo mejor, está siguiendo el camino que ella abrió.
Lideró sin pedir permiso. Organizó a los trabajadores del campo cuando el país prefería no mirar, convenció a familias de todo Estados Unidos de dejar de comprar uvas en solidaridad con los campesinos y consiguió protecciones que cambiaron la vida de millones de personas. Su lucha nació en los campos de California, pero nunca fue solo para California. Familias en Nueva York, en Texas y en el Medio Oeste siguieron sus pasos y aprendieron de su ejemplo sin haberla conocido jamás.
Su valentía y su compromiso con la justicia la acompañaron hasta el final de su vida, cuando decidió hablar y contar la verdad sobre lo que había vivido, aunque guardar silencio habría sido más fácil.
Nos enseñó que sí se puede, y lo vivió cada día.
Nueva York despide con dolor a Dolores Huerta. Honremos su legado continuando su lucha.

I grew up in a world Dolores Huerta helped make. Every time a worker in this city organizes for a fair wage, every time a tenant, delivery worker, or a nanny stands up and demands better, they join a tradition she forged.
She led without asking permission. She organized farmworkers when the country looked away, took the grape boycott to every corner of America, and won protections that changed millions of lives. Her work started in California’s fields, but it was never only for California. Families in New York, in Texas, and in the Midwest followed in her footsteps and learned from her example, without ever meeting her.
Her bravery and fight for justice continued until the very end of her life, when she came forward to share the truth about what she had survived -- even though silence would have been easier.
She taught us that sí se puede and lived it every day.
New York mourns Dolores Huerta. Let us honor her by continuing the work.
