Gig delivery drivers unionizing in Colorado.
, an emerging union for ride share, delivery, pedicab, taxi and limousine drivers.
Food-delivery drivers like Parker-Murray are responsible for their own car maintenance, gas and schedule. While that gives them some flexibility, they are not treated like true independent contractors; instead, they're dependent on the app and policies of the delivery service. Since 2020, when the pandemic hit, there have only been seven Uber investigations and one for Lyft. Meanwhile, deliveries have gone up, as have complaints from drivers. CIDU would like to see the PUC strengthen its oversight and accelerate its actions.A key concern for the union is that drivers don't have the freedom to select their gigs the way that independent contractors are supposed to.
“Nice, huh?” Vigil says. “But what they're actually doing is they're turning this — which should be a matter of informed decision-making — into a slot machine. What you end up doing then — if you are one of those people who gets one of those unicorn payments every so often — is that you'll take a ton of those $6 orders, $4 orders, $3 orders, hoping that you'll get a big payout once in a while.
DoorDash has several DashMart locations in Denver, brick-and-mortar convenience stores that offer only delivery."Dashers deserve to have their voices heard, which is why we’ve always created channels to seek their feedback," DoorDash says in a statement to."Time and again, Dashers have told us that they value the flexibility and high earning potential DoorDash offers.
