Instacart has been accused of exploiting their gig workers, considering tip theft, unsafe working conditions, pay cuts, COVID practices, among others. Despite a CEO change, Instacart has not changed its practices, so Gig Workers Collective calls on Instacart’s customers to delete the app and support the Collective’s demands with the hashtag #DELETEINSTACART. The demands include: (1) “Instacart shoppers must be paid by order, and not by batch,” (2) “Instacart must re-introduce item commission,” (3) “Instacart’s rating system can no longer unfairly punish shoppers for issues outside their control,” (4) “occupational death benefits,” (5) and “default tip must be raised to at least 10% for every single order.”
