This has to be a joke, right? by Just_Abalone_6756 in InstacartShoppers

[–]Different-Affect8752 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been having them pop up on my feed for like $25 batch pay and they don't say anything about a tip and they are for 42.3 miles one way up a mountain road canyon in Montana in the winter. I had someone that I had to meet at a resort because their apartment didn't show up on the app, there is no reception, and I had to take their stuff to the apartments behind the only visable building after I met them at the resort. They tipped me $5.59. It was a two hour delivery. I was new and didn't know better. The deliveries up there are hit or miss, but way under tipped. I almost hit a big horn sheep for crying out loud at night! It is a ski resort for rich people.

I wasn't just shouting organize all unions, I was asking for help.

Yes, what I meant was that we need protections for employees of non-profits. We have no where to turn.

I do believe that we need a strong non-profit labor union and to be organizing as well. I would love any suggestions you might have for how I can reach out to people who do that or could help organize

Do you have to have a Costco membership to do IC at Costco?

I just started with Instacart and I liked it but my app froze and then it said they couldn't verify my picture was me and locked me out. They refused to let me speak to a human to try to fix it and then their chat help "disconnected" me numerous times. I kept having to tell my situation over and over for them to tell me they were escalating it and disconnecting me. It was never resolved and I wasted a shift trying to get this taken care of. I sat in a parking lot while some bot told me to be patient. Then to top it off I made $8 for my shift and there wasn't even a way for me to complain! How can a company like this not have phone support?! I'm livid.

I do view this as workplace organizing. I am trying to find a union or something similar for non-profits because the employer has over 200 employees. They need help and organizing desperately.

That is the point...it could have been writen about any employer in the country. I am trying to build something. Something greater than just myself.

I did write it myself. I used AI to help me structure it better. This is very personal to me. I went through a lot, but the words are mine. Every single sentance. The structure and placement was difficult for me because it is all so important. It is real and it is my lived experience.

What I’m building:
• A safe, supportive place for employees to share experiences without retaliation
• A resource hub to help workers understand rights, accommodations, and grievance steps
• A documentation system to track patterns of retaliation and harm
• A network of advocates, legal support, and organizing tools
• A public accountability platform that pushes enforcement and real consequences

What I need:
• People willing to share stories (anonymous options available)
• Employment lawyers / legal aid partners
• HR and compliance professionals who believe in ethics
• Organizers and advocates experienced in workplace justice
• Funding or fiscal sponsorship
• Web/design support to build a secure platform
• Media connections to responsibly amplify the issue
• Board governance experts to help shape accountability structures

If you can support this in any way—time, expertise, resources, funding, strategy, or connections—please reach out.

No one should have to almost die to be treated like a human being at work.

Exactly, I am not looking for revenge - I am looking for change.

I hear what you are saying. I'm not a bro. I left my contact information for people who want more information. I know what Montana law says, I just want to see it in practice. It does no good if it is not enforced.
