Los Deliveristas Unidos (LDU) organizes and advocates for app-based delivery workers in New York City. NYC’s 65,000 app-based delivery workers transport billions of dollars of goods each year yet do not benefit from minimum wage or workplace safety protections because they are classified as independent contractors. LDU is innovating models to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, bike and micro-mobility infrastructure, education, and pathways to unionization for these workers who power this growing segment of NYC’s economy. Through these efforts, LDU aims to build a strong and united community of delivery workers, where their voices are heard, and their contributions are valued. We strive to create a more sustainable and fair delivery industry that respects the rights and dignity of all workers involved.
