To help make ends meet during these times of job insecurity amid COVID-19, New York City is offering gig workers who are licensed with the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) to help with delivery work.
为了帮助自由职业者在疫情期间工作不稳定的情况下维持生计,纽约市提议让有纽约市出租车和轿车委员会 牌照的临时工作者帮助送外卖。

While the demand for drivers is currently small, NYC says it expects demand to increase for meal delivery to senior citizens and other residents who need to stay home. The jobs pay $15 per hour, as well as reimbursement for gas mileage and tolls.
虽然目前对司机的需求量很小,但纽约市称预计老年人和其他需要待在家中的人的订餐需求会增加。送餐每小时能赚15美元,还可以报销汽油和通行费。

By law, in New York City, Uber,  Lyft and Via drivers make a minimum of $27.86 per hour, with an allocation for expenses. After you account for those expenses, it comes out to about $17.22 an hour.
依照法律,纽约市的优步、来福车和Via(打车软件)的司机最低工资为每小时27.86美元,还包括管理费。除去上交的管理费,最终到手的工资是每小时17.22美元。

“The World is changing around us and many of you are without work as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the TLC wrote in an email to licensees today.
纽约市出租车和轿车委员会今天发给许可证持有人的电子邮件中说:“我们所处的世界正在发生变化,你们很多人受新冠肺炎疫情影响丢了工作。”

“You are a top priority for the TLC and we recognize that you are among the hardest hit by this public health crisis. As we look at all possible ways to help you and as we assess needs citywide, we ask for your assistance and participation in the City’s response.”
“你们的事是我们的头等大事,我们知道你们是此次公共健康危机中最大的受害者。我们尽可能想办法来帮助你们,并对全市的需求进行了评估。我们需要你们的帮助,希望你们能参与到纽约市的防疫工作中来。”

“New York City’s for-hire vehicle drivers have seen their earnings plummet amid this pandemic. Drivers are ready to step up to help the city in this time of great need,” Independent Drivers Guild Executive Director Brendan Sexton said in a statement. “We are thankful that the city sees the value in this workforce and appreciate the Commissioner’s hard work to make DeliveryTLC a reality.”
独立司机工会执行董事Brendan Sexton在声明中说:“纽约市的网约车司机已经发现疫情期间收入骤减,司机们都已准备好行动起来在城市最需要他们的时候提供帮助。我们很欣慰这个城市看到了我们行业的价值,也很感激委员会负责人的努力,使DeliveryTLC成为了现实。”
