I also call on the millions of Americans who rely on delivery drivers to bring us our food and supplies, and who’ve relied on this essential work to an even greater degree throughout the pandemic: You as the customer can voice your discontent that your generous tips don’t serve their intended purpose. If you, like us, have to work for a living, then we are on the same side.
You can add your voice to our petition and use social media to pressure the delivery platforms to change these exploitative practices by tagging them in your posts and sharing this article with others.
New York City has already recognized this exploitive approach by food delivery platforms and taken steps to require tips to be disclosed to delivery workers. The Federal Trade Commission is also taking note and has outlined that it will begin to take action to protect gig workers from deceptive and unfair practices, including algorithms and misrepresentations about pay and work terms.
What we need now is a ripple effect and ultimately a tidal wave that shifts the balance of power so that these companies can’t lord over us. They need us–workers and consumers–even more than we need them. We can’t let them forget that.
