Yeah but you can’t leave the warehouse without being fired.

Gig workers can choose to only work when it’s peak hours then stay home.

That said, no one is forcing DoorDash to allow people to log in.

I think they should have to pay for any part of an hour in which they allow a worker to login. And additionally if they refuse a login, they must continue refusing it for a minimum of 1 hour.

This way they will be incentivized to create a core of real employees for the off hours work, and only use gig workers for peak times.

I mostly see them take the train in to the city with their ebike to deliver. Between deliveries they aren’t able to just sit at home for 10 minutes.

I see them sitting in groups at cafes and in parks all the time.

If you were sat at home playing video games but could conceivably go to the warehouse if they called but they didn't call, you would not be paid for your time playing video games.
