By exploring these petitions and taking action, you can contribute to the fight for fair pay and economic justice. Your support can help create a more equitable and inclusive society for all workers.
I have been a victim of tip baiting on the Spark Driver platform. The tip was significantly reduced for no apparent reason. Both instances I delivered very difficult, heavy orders and traveled 10-15 miles to the customers location. I am struggling financially and supporting my 3 small children. This has to be stopped!!!! It’s unjust and unfair!!!
I've been doing gig work since 2017. Love it. Recently started doing Spark and found out about the 24hr tip reversal after being tip baited. 3 orders in the last 2 weeks. All 3 I handed directly to the customer. We have no control over pick up orders and customers take ot put on us if items are missing. We cannot look through all of the items in an order. It's not feasible and not for us to do. It should all be checked by the Walmart employee. I have high ratings with all of my apps and have never been deactivated with any service. Tip baiting is absurd and completely unfair. We did our job. We held up our responsibility. This should be taken into consideration when making big decisions like this. I've watched this happen with other companies. The quality of drivers and the way orders are handle drastically nose dives as companies do things like this. I take pride in what I do, even if it is just a delivery driver. Let's keep it that way.
It is very unfair that customers are allowed to take back tips after delivery. It happens all the time.
I get advertised a $10 tip then after successful delivery they reduce the tip to $1. Tips placed should be locked in once they submit their order and at the very least they can add MORE after delivery but not reduce
We put major wear and tear on our vehicles to provide this service and without tips the base pay does not support us enough to pay for gas and maintenance to our own PERSONAL vehicles. Tip baiting is a real problem. Leave customers the option to increase the tip - not change it all together. It’s as simple as that. Thank you and I truly hope you will consider changing this option on the app.
During the pandemic we learned who our essential workers are. People who were in charge of keeping society functioning and running while the world was collapsing. Our economy has taken a toll and the only people truly affected have been the working class and those essential workers. This isn’t fair and it’s time for change.
I’m in support of the wage increase. Most of these stores are way understaffed and there’s literally one or two people in the store that is constantly working bc no one else will stay employed because they can’t feed their families even working 40hrs a week here. It’s ridiculous
With over 18 years of automotive diagnostic and repair experience, as a mentor in the automotive industry seeing the issue of being paid for work performed a daily if not hourly occurrence it’s discerning to not only seasoned technicians but new comers whom want to start a career in this industry. The law makes it difficult for technicians to not only pay their bills, support their families but also purchase the needed and required tools to perform the extreme amount of work the manufacturer requires on their vehicles for “free”. This is in no way acceptable in any other industry, but yet more work, time, and knowledge is required daily for no compensation due to unrealistic guidelines and processes required by the manufacturer. This has got to end or automotive technicians will cease to exist in a time where the most technologically advanced vehicles are being released to date without proper quality control engineering from the manufacturer causing constant and unfortunate problems for the consumer.
Several states have made more new laws such as Minnesota,Illinois and New York requiring these manufactures pay the dealers and technicians the same labor times rates as charged the retail customers.These are already federal laws in all 50 states.Neither the dealers or the factories can dictate these labor times.They can only ask technicians for bids and what they are willing to agree to prior to the work being performed.100% a legally protected activity in all 50 states for flat-rate technicians to dispute or disagree with any labor times.Same as car crooks given the ability to tamper with the time clocks and a fox in the henhouse scenario.These warranty repairs must be left open to competitive market forces and a bidding process.Even worse is them leaving it completely open to their discretion after the work has already been performed.I have been robbed 16 hours on a single job because they said that I didn't type the letter 'D'.THOSE LABOR TIMES ARE ONLY WHAT I AGREE TO PRIOR TO THE WORK BEING PERFORMED!
