Levine on new laws including delivery worker and deactivation protections
Levine highlights expanded delivery worker laws, minimum pay rate for grocery delivery, expanded protected time off, upcoming deactivation protections, street vendor licenses, and Chair Epstein's student loan debt legislation.
Going on to the important work we do.
It has been just shy of six months since the start of my tenure, and I am beyond proud of what this agency has already accomplished under the Mamdani administration.
Our team has been at the forefront of the administration implementing cutting-edge new mandates, aggressively pursuing new protections, and securing victory after victory for the people of New York.
These range from our expanded delivery worker laws, including a minimum pay rate for grocery delivery workers, an expanded protected time off law, and soon to come, deactivation protections for key workforces and more licenses for our city street vendors.
I also want to be sure to emphasize Chair Epstein's much-needed legislation to address the student loan debt crisis in our city.
Under Local Law 84, we will be expanding our critical financial empowerment center network by providing student loan debt services, which will be essential for New Yorkers.
In addition to the new laws and requirements, DCWP is
has also taken more proactive and innovative steps to strengthen protections for those who make our city run.
