NYC's food delivery workers are sweltering in the heat - and demanding more protection
Briefly

"As things stand, there isn't a designated place for us to rest while working," said Antonio Solis, highlighting the struggle for delivery workers to find safe break areas in the city.
"Protecting yourself from the heat is always complicated," Solis explained. He emphasizes the importance of preparation among delivery workers amid the city's oppressive summer temperatures.
The challenge of finding an acceptable break area in a city full of concrete, skyscrapers, and traffic exists year round for the more than 60,000 delivery workers.
With oppressive heat arriving early this summer, outdoor workers face real health and safety risks, yet delivery workers are organizing to keep themselves safe.
