Protections for contracted delivery workers.
Status: Laid Over in Committee Committee on Consumer and Worker Protection
Sponsored by Jennifer Gutiérrez
Introduced: December 5, 2024

This bill would expand delivery worker protections to cover all contracted delivery workers who deliver goods for a delivery service. Such protections would include requiring delivery services to provide delivery workers with the opportunity to set a maximum distance per trip, and provide trip information prior to accepting such trip. Protections would also include requiring the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection to study the working conditions of delivery workers and promulgate rules establishing a minimum pay rate that must be paid to contracted delivery workers. In addition, this bill would require delivery services to provide insulated delivery bags and fire safety materials to their delivery workers. This bill would also require that food service establishments provide access to a toilet facility to contracted delivery workers picking up goods from such establishment. The bill would set forth enforcement options, including those available to the City and to workers, that would apply to all laws relating to contracted delivery workers.
