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.

It's actually easy. I sued Instacart for something similar.

Lodged a complaint with the state. Instacart asked to settle. Didn't cost me a dime.

They know they're in the wrong. It's cheaper for them to settle. Even if they have billions they don't want a big lawsuit. If they lose a lawsuit instead of settling out of court it sets precedent that could end their whole gig economy bullshit in a big class action.
