最近有几名纽约市出租车司机被发现在车内身亡。一家出租车工会正寻求恢复一项基金，该基金将提供医疗筛查、残疾保险和其他福利。
Several New York City cabbies were recently found dead in their cars. A taxi union is seeking to revive a fund that would provide medical screenings, disability insurance and other benefits.
代表纽约市出租车司机的一个工会正在敦促市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼推进一项长期拖延的司机健康福利方案，因为今年夏天有三名司机在车内死亡。
A union representing New York City taxi drivers is pressing Mayor Zohran Mamdani to advance a long-delayed package of health benefits for cabbies after three died in their cars this summer.
该工会——纽约出租车工人联盟——代表该市超过2.8万名黄色出租车和网约车司机。它正寻求恢复一项拟议基金，该基金将为很大程度上被排除在此类福利之外的劳动力提供残疾保险、扩大病假、心理健康支持以及一系列其他服务。
The union, the New York Taxi Workers Alliance, represents more than 28,000 yellow-cab and ride-hail drivers in the city. It is seeking to revive a proposed fund that would provide disability insurance, expanded sick leave, mental health support and a suite of other services to a work force that has largely been excluded from such benefits.
该组织执行主任拜拉维·德赛本月初向市出租车和豪华轿车委员会以及马姆达尼先生的经济正义副市长朱莉·苏发送了一份提案清单，敦促他们采纳市政府十多年前支持但从未实施的计划的一个版本。
Bhairavi Desai, the executive director of the group, sent a list of proposals earlier this month to the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission and to Julie Su, Mr. Mamdani’s deputy mayor for economic justice, urging them to adopt a version of a plan that the city supported more than a decade ago but never carried out.
“我们只是从未有过政治意愿，”德赛女士在采访中说，“但这是真正改变的时刻。”苏女士表示，市政府正在探索“将健康和保健服务直接带给司机”的方法，但并未明确支持出租车工人的提案。
“We’ve just never had the political will,” Ms. Desai said in an interview, “but this is the moment for that to really change.” Ms. Su said the city was exploring ways “to bring wellness and health services directly to drivers,” but did not explicitly support the taxi workers’ proposal.
该组织寻求通过转移州政府已收取的黄色出租车每趟50美分附加费的收入，每年为该基金筹集2000万美元。
The group is seeking to raise $20 million a year for the fund by redirecting revenue from a 50-cent surcharge on yellow taxi rides that the state already collects.
