DoorDash wants you to lobby Congress instead of just employing you
(programming.dev)
Rather than simply hiring their workers as employees or providing fair wages and benefits, DoorDash is asking independent contractors to lobby Congress on their behalf to "help companies explore" ways of maybe, someday, offering access to things like healthcare or paid time off. Instead of taking responsibility, they’re pushing for legislative loopholes that let them keep the flexibility of gig labor while offloading the cost of basic protections.
(Apologies if this is not the right community to post this.)
What is the bill they are talking about and what does it actually do?
