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.

There was controversy in the past with DoorDash effectively pocketing the tips (https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/dc-attorney-gene...) which makes me wary about tipping in these apps -- are InstaCart and Amazon doing the same?

Instacart was doing the same, but they changed course. Doordash is/was doing the same, said they would change course, did not, got call out on it and in the end I don't know if they every actually changed their policy or found some other slimy way to technically abide but still take advantage of their partners.

Amazon I believe tends to do everything through third party companies and there really isn't tipping with Amazon as far as I know, but that might have changed since I haven't ordered an Amazon Fresh order in ages. From other comments here, it sounds like they now having tipping.
