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.

The only one I’d change is the 10% tip should be named as a fee.

I think our tipping culture is okay but I’d like us to move to calling them delivery fees so we can keep the idea of the tip as a pure bonus between me and those serving me.

I don’t like feeling like I am required to tip but I like tipping. Especially when not expected but socially accepted.

a fee and a tip are very different things, and ti would be bad to conflate them. A fee is something mandatory and a tip is supposed to be optional. I think their are also differences between how the two things are taxed, so you really can't start conflating the two

There are no differences besides the fact that people often massively underreport cash tips.
