Right now, as the coronavirus escalates, some workers are more
exposed than others. Drivers for Amazon, Uber, Deliveroo and
others are busy delivering supplies to affected
people and taking passengers to doctors.
Their work exposes them to greater risk than many of us face. And
what’s worse -- many of them are forced to work when they’re
sick because they aren’t given paid sick leave!
As more and more people stay home, these companies are getting
swamped with business. Now more than ever we need to protect
workers so they can serve as lifelines to those in need,
not expose themselves to unnecessary risk!
Tell
companies: don't make people work sick! Give them paid sick leave
now.
For years, “gig economy” CEOs have been raking in profits off the
backs of the people who do the real work for their company -- while
refusing to grant them even the most basic rights.
The good news is that right now, we have a chance to
force change in these money-hungry industries.
If enough of us hold these companies accountable for putting
lives at risk, they’ll buckle under our pressure and be forced to
implement policies that will make all their workers' lives
better.
Sign
the emergency petition: Demand paid sick days for all
workers!
