Sounds reasonable.

Burdened food delivery workers could get relief from upcoming City Council bills that aim to open doors to restaurant restrooms and let them set limits on where they’ll deliver. Some workers have told THE CITY they’ve at times been forced to travel back to their homes in the middle of shifts to relieve themselves, potentially losing hours of work.
Councilmembers Carlina Rivera (D-Manhattan), Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) and Carlos Menchaca (D-Brooklyn) told THE CITY they plan on introducing a legislative package Thursday, after months-long conversations with Los Deliveristas Unidos, a collective of mostly immigrant food deliverers.
Among the bills, which also include measures to boost wages and ensure tips get to workers, is a highly anticipated proposal by Rivera that would fine restaurants and bars that refuse to allow a delivery worker to use the restroom — charging $50 for the first offense and $100 for every subsequent violation.
“They deserve to be treated with respect, public health crisis or not — and that includes access to basic amenities like a bathroom while on the job, just like every other worker in the city,” Rivera told THE CITY.
