We're telling the State Legislature to pass secure scheduling because our time counts!
We're telling the State Legislature to pass secure scheduling because our time counts!

The big food & retail chains don’t seem to love the idea of making our schedules work for us, too. They’re even sending general managers and lobbyists to tell the state legislature that despite all the evidence, workers don’t really have a problem with their work schedules. That’s why it’s so important that we show up and speak out about the realities of unstable and unpredictable work schedules. They need to hear that our time counts too!

Selecting a 15% tip doesn’t change the workers’ pay by a penny. It just replaces what DoorDash would have paid. The customer could tip $0 in-app, and the worker would get the same amount. DoorDash would just pay more.

Our time counts

Workers in coffee, fast food, retail, and other fields are fighting for reliable schedules and access to hours.

Restore overtime PAY

Nobody should have to work without getting paid for it.

Paid Family Leave

We need a state paid family leave program that recognizes workers have families, too — and sometimes they need time.
