2:57Now PlayingApp-based “gig workers” who drive tens (or hundreds) of thousands of miles every year for companies like Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash say that they make as little as $3–$6 an hour, that their pay is calculated by invisible algorithms, and that they receive no benefits and have no job security.
That’s why Capitol Hill lawmakers and workers are pushing to pass the Empowering App-Based Workers Act, which is designed to bring transparency, accountability, and full algorithmic visibility to app-based labor.
Reporting from Washington, DC, Inequality Watch reporters Taya Graham and Stephen Janis speak with app-based workers about the reality of “gig work” today and how the Empowering App-Based Workers Act would change their lives.
