Wouldn't it be a better idea to pressure the state Govt to pass laws or executive orders to mandate that Companies provide benefits such as Hazard Pay, PPE for workers, Paid Sick Leave instead of striking and attempting to pressure Instacart / Amazon ?

There's a record number of unemployed people right now [1] and, if some workers strike, wouldn't it be easier for companies to just hire more people ?

It's not an either or, it's a yes and. Everyone should be contacting their representatives in government as much as possible AND these workers should strike to leverage their labor's clear value to get basic essential protections.

If you use these services you are impacted by the health and safety of the workers that make the services possible. You have a stake here. Call your people:
