It's on fire in the food delivery group. There's a 100 square meter cabin in Lujiazui
"There is longan tea today, hurry up and come." At 10 o'clock in the morning, after finishing the delivery list for breakfast, Yu Zhaohong sat on a chair and sent this message to several familiar delivery guys.
This is a "summer special drink" provided by the outdoor worker's home located at 877 Shangcheng Road, Lujiazui, to the surrounding takeout boys. The day before, coconut juice was served here.

"There are probably dozens of guys like Yu Zhaohong who come over every day to sit down and drink some drinks, and 126 delivery guys who join our WeChat group," said Xiao Han, the head of the outdoor worker's home on Shangcheng Road.
In recent years, various districts in Shanghai have established many new spaces for new employment groups, hoping that they can come and rest, recharge, and some even provide convenient service. However, in practice, it has also been found that the key to solving the problem is how to attract and retain young men. Can the Outdoor Workers' Home, as a service platform established by the Pudong New Area Federation of Trade Unions, explore more effective ways to connect with outdoor labor groups?
"Red Sister" warmly greeted and became a frequent guest from then on

The indoor area is 100 square meters, and the outdoor courtyard is 70 square meters. It is adjacent to a mature community, as well as the surrounding new Shanghai commercial city and commercial buildings. The location of the outdoor worker's home is the place where young people often pass by or gather on weekdays.
The first time Yu Zhaohong walked into the door of the outdoor worker's home was because he happened to be resting against the railing by the roadside. The person in charge of the outdoor worker's home at the time, "Red Sister," warmly greeted him and asked if he wanted to come in and drink some water. If he was willing to scan the code to join the online platform of the industry union federation, he could also receive a free boxed meal.
At first, Yu Zhaohong was also somewhat skeptical, but "Red Sister" patiently introduced the functions of this small house: the refrigerator can store the boy's own lunch, the microwave and cookware can be used for heating, and there is also a dishwasher and washing supplies provided. Behind the open kitchen, a round table can be used for resting and eating, and the recliner next to it can be used for a nap. During the off-season when the kids pick up orders from 2 to 4 pm every afternoon, there will also be a movie playing here. In addition, there are many facilities here, such as water dispensers, battery swapping cabinets, mobile phone charging ports, bookcases, emergency medicine supplies, and 24-hour self-service government service all-in-one machines.

A dedicated shower room has been set up in the outdoor courtyard.
"What attracts me the most is the shower in the small courtyard. Sometimes when the weather is too hot and my clothes get wet, I can go in and take a shower, change my clothes, and then continue to work in the afternoon," said Yu Zhaohong.
Why is the young man willing to come? In fact, in the past two years, many service spaces have emerged on the streets of Shanghai specifically designed for outdoor workers or new employment groups. However, for my little brother Wang Haibo, "Some of them are located quite far away, and people usually don't pass by; otherwise, their names are very obscure, and I don't know what they do, so I dare not enter."

Wang Haibo first walked into the outdoor worker's home because there was a green sign posted at the entrance, which read "Pudong Outdoor Worker Services" and detailed the services that could be provided. "So I boldly walked in. As soon as I came in, the 'Red Sister' greeted me to drink water and helped me scoop up a bowl of Congee." Since then, he has used this place as a rest place for lunch, and the lunch prepared at home is also stored in the refrigerator here.
The exchange station in the small courtyard is another drainage tool for outdoor workers' homes. The first thing Wang Hui did when he entered the courtyard was to replace the battery. "Usually delivering takeout in the surrounding area, this power station is the most convenient, with a monthly electricity consumption of about 300 yuan."

The reporter learned that there are 10 food delivery stations, 732 registered riders, 12 express delivery stations, and 276 registered riders in the jurisdiction of Lujiazui Street. In order to make the service of the outdoor worker's home truly close to the work flow of young men and in line with their work habits, Lujiazui Street has carefully selected locations and arranged four service spaces: Shangcheng Road, New World Square, Qixia Road, and Dongchang Road Ferry.
Integration of various resources, often with free food in the refrigerator
10am is the moment of tranquility before the peak delivery rush. The number of people in outdoor workers' homes is gradually increasing. On that day, a one-on-one health check up service was provided here for young men. Many young men learned the news the night before because they had added the WeChat group of Outdoor Workers Home.

Many young men have come to participate in health check ups.
Yu Zhaohong told reporters that two months ago, he also participated in a free physical examination provided by the Outdoor Workers Home. I am over 50 years old this year and have never had a serious physical examination before. This time, I underwent an electrocardiogram, lung X-ray, and blood sample test at the hospital, which gave me a clearer understanding of my physical condition. In order to express my gratitude to the outdoor worker's home, Yu Zhaohong actively signed up and participated in community governance projects such as "civilized creation", "caring for the elderly", and "cleaning the home".
In order to further coordinate the resources of the entire district and provide convenience for young people, the District Federation of Trade Unions has successively organized eight actions, including health services, cool summer vacation, happy markets, legal services, health escort, mutual assistance, post station foundation strengthening, and public welfare relay. Especially, a group of caring enterprise units have been mobilized, and functions such as "Love Freezer", "Love Bento", and "Love Raincoat" have been implanted in outdoor worker homes. The reporter saw that many young men came in and casually took a bottle of mineral water and a bag of bread from the "Love Freezer" to replenish their energy.

It is reported that with the recent release of the "Construction Guidelines for Optimizing and Improving Employee Service Quality and Level" by the Pudong New Area Federation of Trade Unions, more and more outdoor employee stations in Pudong will have 6 basic configurations and X personalized services. For example, the outdoor worker's home on Shangcheng Road also provides summer heatstroke prevention and cooling supplies for the young man, including toilet water, cool oil, towels, etc., making the young man truly feel that he can walk in and use them.
Many young men rushed towards the small green sign at the door and walked in.
