If you’re out shopping for Black Friday deals today, remember: it’s a time of great stress and pressure for workers who don’t get to spend the day with their family and friends, and often work long shifts.
Be kind, and take a moment to thank a retail worker.

NYC CLC, AFL-CIO Sec-Treas Janella T. Hinds: “The subcontracting structure in last-mile delivery drives unsafe conditions & weakens accountability. Intro 1396 meets this head on, setting clear standards for operators & making them responsible for the jobs & the delivery practices they oversee.”
