OK, now the fauxgressives of the Upper West Side have really pissed off our cartoonist.
National treasure Bill Roundy was somehow able to hold it in when Manhattan Community Board 7 tabled a completely reasonable resolution to ask restaurateurs to allow delivery workers to use their bathrooms when the workers arrive to pick up a takeout order.
But when the board agreed to finally hear the issue — but not invite the workers to testify — that’s when Roundy smelled something awful.
His number one mission? Calling out this mistreatment of workers for what it is: number two.
The good news? You can watch the hearing tonight at 6 p.m. simply by registering here.
All of Bill Roundy’s weekly cartoons are archived here.
This piece was the work of the Streetsblog staff.
