New York City's Delivery Workers Win On-Job Protection

New York's 65-thousand food delivery workers have been celebrated as essential workers during the pandemic. But they often haven't been treated that way. Instead, they routinely earn below minimum-wage pay, lack basic employment protections, and often work in dangerous conditions. On Thursday, the New York City Council passed a slate of bills that aim to protect these workers. Claudia Irizarry Aponte, reporter for the news outlet The City, spoke with WNYC's Sean Carlson about what supporters are calling legislation that's the "first of its kind in any major U.S city."
