Gig Workers Rising

From ProleWiki, the proletarian encyclopedia

Gig Workers Rising (GWR) is a California-based campaign which aims to improve the material conditions of gig workers.[1][2] Specificially, GWR is advocating for: living wages, drivers' unions, benefits, and transparency.[3]

Their campaign has involved workers from many different delivery apps and platforms, among which are:

  • Uber[4][5]
  • Lyft[6]
  • DoorDash[7]
  • Instacart
  • UberEats
  • GrubHub
  • Amazon Flex
  • Postmates

One method employed by the bourgeoisie to exploit these gig workers is to misclassify them as "contractors" rather than "workers," which under US labor law allows the bosses to provide fewer benefits and protections.[8]
