Chicago’s lawsuit against GrubHub cites a long list of deceptive practices. But this one really stands out. Grubhub used public concern about the plight of restaurants during the pandemic to rip off those restaurants even more. chicago.eater.com/2022/2/2/22912…

Fidji Simo Love my job, but this week, Instacart is not allowing me to work. They will not give me batches. Why?

Many Instacart shoppers have stopped seeing order offers. Instacart keeps suggesting that they wait at busy stores, yet that isn’t improving their ability to see orders. This is resulting in some shoppers sitting and waiting all day, unpaid, for nothing.

This is how it’s done! Nothing NOTHING is more powerful than worker power. If your theory of change does not include collective power, you don’t really want things to change.
