Here are their demands: https://medium.com/@GigWorkersCollective/instacart-emergency...

- Safety precautions at no cost to workers — PPE (at minimum hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes/sprays and soap).

- Hazard pay — an extra $5 per order and defaulting the in-app tip amount to at least 10% of the order total.

- An extension and expansion of pay for workers impacted by COVID-19 — anyone who has a doctor’s note for either a preexisting condition that’s a known risk factor or requiring a self-quarantine.

- The deadline to qualify for these benefits must be extended beyond April 8th.

> Hazard pay

How many industries offer a hazard pay? I know the military does for conflict zones, what amount do they offer?

Typically, very few industries are exposed to enough uncertain risk to warrant it. It's meant for workers who are exposed to an unusual level of risk compared to the job typically. The typical risk profile for delivery workers is robbery or animal attacks. I think it's reasonable to say that being exposed to people who may be carrying a deadly disease is unusually hazardous. Especially in cities with a stay at home order.
