#PayUp

It’s time to reboot the gig economy.

 
 

In 2019, Instacart workers showed what’s possible when they came together and sparked a national media sensation that transformed the entire pay model of a $7 billion corporation. But we’re not done yet — now workers are joining forces across all different apps and across the country to reboot the gig economy so it works for all of us, not just the investors and the billionaires.

It’s time for gig companies to #PayUp! Keep scrolling to learn more about the PayUp Campaign and how you can join the movement.

Our Minimum Wage Is Under Attack

Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson has written legislation which would completely gut the Seattle PayUp App-Based Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance, cutting gig worker pay, ending transparency and flexibility protections, and denying workers access to courts to enforce the law in one sweep. Read more and join the fight here.

What Seattle gig workers have won:

A Pay Floor

Gig workers established a minimum pay floor of at least minimum wage for every hour worked with an active job with tips on top, plus the cost of mileage and other expenses paid by contractors. FAQs HERE!

Flexibility

Gig workers will now get the flexibility apps have promised — the right to reject or accept offers and work when we want without penalty, and be free from management control.

 

Transparency

Companies must now provide the info gig workers need up front on each offer and a detailed breakdown of work, including time, miles, pay, and tips — so we know what our pay really comes out to and what’s worth it.

Paid Sick & Safe Time

Gig workers fought for and won the right to take care of ourselves and our families during the pandemic. After the period of emergency, we were able to win this right permanently.

 
 

Deactivation Protections

Gig workers wrote and won a policy to protect each other from unjust deactivations – giving us transparency, safeguards, and human review to resolve AI-driven account deactivations and get us back to work.

Let’s make the gig economy #PayUp

Customers and workers value the flexibility & convenience offered by the gig economy. Gig workers shouldn’t be punished by multibillion dollar companies for taking advantage of that flexibility. And these same companies shouldn’t get away with taking tips, cutting pay, and hiding behind black-box algorithms. That’s why gig workers all over the country have been organizing for years to call for new laws and policies that make these companies pay up.
