Dear Friends,

Have you ever ordered from an on-demand app like Postmates or Doordash? Used Rover or Amazon Prime Now? Taken an Uber or Lyft?

Ever worked for one of these apps?

Take our survey and let us know about the good, the bad, and the ugly of working & shopping in this fast-growing sector of the economy!

Here’s the deal: billions of dollars are pouring into the gig economy. Workers and consumers love the flexibility & opportunity these apps offer. But many of the apps choose to classify workers as “independent contractors” in order to artificially lower their costs by dodging their basic responsibilities.

If you’re classified as an independent contractor, you don’t get workers’ comp if you’re injured on the job. You can’t collect unemployment if you’re “deactivated” by the app. You aren’t reimbursed for your mileage. You don’t qualify for employer-based benefits like healthcare and retirement. And you aren’t even covered by the minimum wage.

Sign on if you agree: People who work in the gig economy deserve the same basic rights & benefits every worker needs!

Then, take our survey so we can hear more from workers and consumers about what’s happening right now in WA’s gig economy — and how we can change it for the better.

Thanks for your help!
