'For years, us couriers were missing out on many benefits that we need and that we should have received from the start,' said Shawn W. Gray, a Postmates driver.
Postmates has agreed to pay its Seattle workers almost $1 million in a settlement over allegations that it violated a city policy surrounding sick leave pay for gig workers.
"For years, us couriers were missing out on many benefits that we need and that we should have received from the start," said Shawn W. Gray, a Postmates driver, in a City of Seattle press release. The city's Gig Worker Paid Sick and Safe Time Ordinance was passed last year as a temporary measure allowing gig workers to accrue and collect paid sick or safe time during the COVID-19 emergency. The city council has temporarily extended the measure.
