'Workers should not be risking their lives for pocket change,' a labor activism group working with Instacart shoppers wrote.
Sunday, Instacart said it plans to distribute new health and safety supplies for its full-service workers, known as shoppers, and launched a default system for when customers are asked on the app if they want to tip,"ultimately helping shoppers earn higher, more consistent tips."
All this comes as the company says its order volume has soared by more than 150 percent year-over-year., a labor activism group working with Instacart shoppers, responded that the strike is"still on" and that the company did not act on the demand for hazard pay."The average pay per order is well under $10.
Meanwhile, 7-Eleven wants to supplement its workforce by 20,000, while Dollar General aims to hire 50,000 workers by the end of April. CVS also wants to add 50,000 workers and provide bonuses of up to $500 for pharmacists, store employees and managers. After the deep recession that came in the wake of the housing crisis over a decade ago, low-wage jobs saw the strongest employment growth, with workers snapping up fast food and retail positions.
