Workers don’t get a free lunch.
Multi-billion dollar corporations like DoorDash shouldn’t get free lunch either.
That’s why all across the country, thousands of workers are joining together to make DoorDash pay up by rejecting ALL jobs that offer less than $6.
Here’s how to show DoorDash there’s #NoFreeLunch:
Reject all DoorDash jobs that pay less than $6.
Reject all DoorDash jobs that pay less than $1 per mile of driving required (from the location where you accept the job, all the way to the customer’s dropoff location.)
Post screenshots of the jobs you’re rejecting on Twitter using the hashtag #NoFreeLunch.

Why we’re taking action
DoorDash finally agreed to stop stealing tips from workers in October...but under their new pay model, they’re trying to make us accept jobs paying as little as $2. Customers are still paying delivery fees, service charges, and restaurant mark-ups. DoorDash is still bringing in new funding from big investors. And workers are still covering our own expenses.
But DoorDash thinks they can get a free lunch out of us. And that’s why we’re telling them there’s #NoFreeLunch by rejecting low-paying jobs.
DoorDash seems to be testing just how low they can go with this new model, but the more we reject jobs, the more DoorDash has to bump up pay. By rejecting jobs that offer less than $6, we’re exercising our right to choose what’s worth it for us — and by getting enough workers on board, we can also drive up pay for everyone.
What they’re up to
DoorDash knows that these low-paying jobs aren’t worth doing. That’s why at the beginning of December, they rolled out a new policy trying to force us to accept low-paying jobs by requiring a 70% acceptance rating to get “Top Dasher” benefits. And they also started to hide information about “high value” jobs, hoping we’ll accept more jobs that look like they’re not paying much in the hopes of getting lucky every once in a while.
But no matter what tricks they pull, these obscenely low offers just aren’t worth it. Being able to reject jobs we don’t want is part of what being an independent contractor is supposed to be about. That’s why we’re going to continue refusing jobs...no matter how low our acceptance rating goes.
Instead of trying to trick workers into accepting jobs, DoorDash needs to pay enough to make the jobs they offer worth it. Until they make that happen on their end, we can make it happen for ourselves.
Join the movement, reject jobs below $6, and spread the word to fellow DoorDash workers so we can drive up pay together.
