Seattle becomes first in U.S. to protect gig workers from sudden 'deactivation'

Work Reform • 1 year ago

On Tuesday, Seattle’s city council passed legisation that would protect gig workers from being suddenly kicked off apps like Instacart or DoorDash. It’s the first gig worker protection measure of its kind in the entire country.

I sued Instacart over violation of state employment laws.

Lodged a complaint with the state and Instacart asked to settle in mediation

Cost me nothing and I didn’t even hire a lawyer.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Our Philosophies:

All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.

Our Goals

Higher wages for underpaid workers.
Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
Better and fewer working hours.
Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
