Food Delivery Workers Could Get Relief From Council Bills to Open Restaurant Restrooms and Regulate Apps Share this story Claudia Irizarry Aponte/THE CITY 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.
