Gustavo Ajche is member leader of Worker's Justice Project (WJP) and co-founder of Los Deliveristas Unidos, a collective of Deliveristas that are organizing and setting new labor standards in the app delivery industry. As conditions for food delivery workers worsened during the coronavirus pandemic, Gustavo Ajche along with "fellow Deliveristas" teamed up to deliver better working conditions.
Launched by the nonprofit Workers Justice Project, Los Deliveristas Unidos has delivered a landmark package of legislation guaranteeing basic workers’ rights to food delivery workers, including a living wage and access to restaurant restrooms. LDU is partnering with NYC Mayor Adams and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer to pilot the first Deliveristas HUBs - New Micro-Mobility Infrastructure - in the country.
