Among the army’s recruits is a lanky 22-year-old in a baggy Ele.me jacket who prefers to be identified only by his surname, Liu. He says that, in his distant home-town near the eastern city of Suqian, he would need to “work as long as the machines” in order to earn as much as he does in Shanghai. He now puts aside 5,000 yuan a month. But he works six days a week, ten hours a day, even in the grimmest weather. Mr Liu says he jumps red lights every day to avoid late-delivery penalties. In the first half of 2019, Shanghai recorded 12 road accidents a week involving food-delivery riders. Many go unreported.

Over the years, factory workers have used their collective power to press for better pay and conditions.
多年来，工厂工人运用他们的集体力量来争取更好的工资水平和工作条件。
这里的 press 很耐人寻味。并不是按压的意思。但也不离这个意思，有种“尽力争取”的意味。其英文释义为 ask for or request earnestly，意思是极力地争取。
