A simple demand for fair compensation

Minimum wage should mean minimum wage.

Gig workers should earn at least the minimum wage after necessary work expenses.

Why this matters

Gross pay isn't take-home pay.

Delivery and rideshare workers often pay for the vehicle, fuel, maintenance, and other costs of doing the job. A payout that looks reasonable before expenses can fall below minimum wage afterward. We're asking elected representatives to address that gap.

01 / TIME

Count the work.

Working time matters, including necessary travel connected to completing and obtaining assignments.

02 / EXPENSES

Count the costs.

For drivers, the IRS business mileage rate offers a clear benchmark for vehicle expenses.

03 / EARNINGS

Guarantee the floor.

After necessary work expenses, earnings should not fall below the applicable minimum wage.
