Every day, thousands of delivery workers crisscross New York City, ensuring that residents receive their meals swiftly and efficiently. However, these essential workers often face a significant challenge: the lack of access to restrooms when they need it most. This isn't just an inconvenience; it impacts their health, dignity, and overall working conditions.

We are calling for legislation that mandates all restaurants in New York City to provide restroom access to delivery workers while they are picking up orders. It's time to institute clear signage in these establishments, indicating the restroom access rights of delivery workers, ensuring that there is no ambiguity or unfair treatment.

Furthermore, we propose a system of fines for businesses that unjustly deny restroom access to these workers. By implementing penalties, we can ensure compliance and discourage any unfair practices that may arise.

In addition to establishing regulations for restaurant access, the city should invest in more public rest stations specifically designed for delivery workers. These rest stations would provide them with basic amenities, ensuring they have a comfortable place to take a short break and attend to necessary hygiene needs.

According to a recent study, over 50% of delivery workers report having to skip meals and drinks due to the lack of restroom access, while others suffer from urinary tract infections and other health concerns.

This is an issue of basic human rights. Delivery workers deserve the same respect and humane treatment afforded to other workers. Let's champion their cause by demanding change that supports their health and well-being while they work tirelessly to serve us.

Sign this petition if you believe in fair treatment for all workers and want to see New York City lead the way in supporting its delivery workforce. Together, we can make a difference.
