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.
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 between Los Deliveristas Unidos, a collective of mostly immigrant food deliverers.
Among the four bills 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.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Cesar Vargas came to this country with his family as a child, an undocumented immigrant. He just earned his citizenship earlier this month, and now he’s running to be Staten Island’s next borough president.
In a Wednesday interview with the Advance/SILive.com, Vargas, who arrived in the U.S. from Mexico when he was “five or six,” said that if elected he hopes to use his life experiences to better serve the people of Staten Island.
