TRAVEL ADVISORY: Hey New Yorkers, a nor’easter is on the way! 🌧️💨

If you don’t have to travel, stay home and avoid unnecessary trips. Starting around 2 p.m., strong wind gusts could bring down trees and power lines.

Coastal flooding is expected to begin tonight and could be worst Saturday morning, especially in the Rockaways, around Jamaica Bay, and along Staten Island’s coast. If you live in a basement or low-lying area, know your exits and be prepared to move to higher ground if water starts rising.

NYC’s LARGEST win for workers!

💰DoorDash must pay $131.5 million for violations of NYC’s Delivery Worker Protection Act

✊260,000+ workers receiving restitution

📈3 years of DCWP analysis and a groundbreaking compliance monitoring program with @workersjusticep + @the_wao_

[NYC Consumer and Worker Protection @helloDCWP]

We’re proud to join @econliberties and Teamsters Local 804 to discuss the Delivery Protection Act! 

It’s time to deliver safety for drivers and correct the imbalance of power accumulated by massive corporations.

[Alvaro Bedoya @BedoyaUSA]

Last-mile delivery companies tell drivers what to wear, where to go & how to go there. They make them go so fast that they get in accidents, hurting themselves and people on the street. This Thursday, @econliberties & Teamsters Local 804 will hold a roundtable with drivers, @tiffany_caban and @saalevine. It's open to press, RSVP to @Allie_Elisabeth to join (email in the poster below).

[Council Member Sandy Nurse @CMSandyNurse]

NYC isn’t letting mega-corps like DoorDash shortchange workers.

Proud to stand w/@workersjusticep as @hellodcwp announced the largest worker protection settlement in NYC history: a $131M settlement with Doordash to return stolen worker wages.

✊🏽A massive win for all workers.

[Democrats @TheDemocrats]

NEW: New York City has secured a $131 million settlement against DoorDash for shortchanging workers.

$115 million will go to over 260,000 delivery drivers in the city, while more than $16 million will go towards civil penalties.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history.

This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

HUGE: Zohran Mamdani just won a $131.5 million settlement from DoorDash after finding the tech giant underpaid 260,000 delivery workers for years.

It’s the largest labor enforcement action in American municipal history.

We spoke to NYC Commissioner Sam Levine about how the administration is holding the billion-dollar company accountable and cracking down on greedy algorithms that shortchange workers.

[Majority Leader Shaun Abreu @CMShaunAbreu]

When companies violate our laws, we make them pay.

Today, @helloDCWP secured $131.5 million from DoorDash, the largest labor settlement in city history. Deliveristas earned every single one of those dollars, and we’ll keep fighting so every worker gets what they’re owed.

[Los Deliveristas Unidos @LosDeliveristas]

NEW VICTORY- Deliveristas won a historic $131.5 million DoorDash settlement!

This victory belongs to the courageous workers who organized, and fought back when their wages were stolen and built a powerful union - @LosDeliveristas.

Thank you, @NYCMayor @helloDCWP.
