More than 2,000 food delivery workers biked from Times Square to Foley Square on Wednesday afternoon, briefly shutting down traffic on Broadway, to demand better wages and protections from the tech giants that run delivery app platforms.
Los Deliveristas Unidos had rallied before — but this time, the workers who spoke were joined by a powerful new ally: the city’s largest union of service workers. The union executive who spoke from the stage on behalf of SEIU 32BJ vowed: “We’re going to win together.”
I know they aren't paid well. But they also choose that job. No one takes any accountability for their actions anymore. We all don't love things about our jobs. But we agreed to the terms when we took it.
Yes. Good for them. People take these jobs out of desperation. They have a right to be treated fairly and paid a decent wage. The delivery drivers for the Whole Foods where I was a shopper brought their children with them sometimes because they didn't have any child care. They got paid per delivery plus tips.

Oh well. No sympathy from me. The delivery people are RUDE. I pick up my own food. They want everything and give nothing in return. The people ordering food are providing work for them and generally tip generously, and they arrive with attitudes more times than not, as if they are owed something.

To each his own. I thought many of the WF store staff were rude, but not the drivers.
I don't believe these jobs were meant to support a family.
Agreed. That’s why when I saw family members working together, I knew it was out of desperation. Especially when they had to bring their kids with them.
Hell if we wanted low wage workers that complained we could have just kept it to Americans. I thought the benefit of having illegals take these jobs is we can pay them **** wages and they would be happy.
If you work for one of the big companies, like Amazon, Uber, Door Dash et al, you can't be undocumented. Probably not true for the ad hoc outfits though.
