washing their hands and

staying home when ill.

In a statement, Uber

spokeswoman Susan Hen-

drick said the company will

keep Warner updated on its

efforts and is “exploring

compensation for drivers

who have been quarantined

or diagnosed with co-

ronavirus, whether inde-

pendently, through a fund,

or in partnership with peer

companies.”

Lyft spokesperson

Campbell Matthews said

that the company appreci-

ates Warner’s “leadership on

the issue” and that the com-

pany is “focused on taking

appropriate actions” and is

planning for multiple sce-

narios.

DoorDash spokeswoman

Becky Sosnov said in a state-

ment that the company

would speak with Warner.

“DoorDash’s task force is ac-

tively working to develop

and implement a compre-

hensive strategy to protect

the safety of our entire com-

munity in response to the

spread of COVID-19,” Sosnov

said.

Postmates spokeswom-

an Ashley De Smeath said

that while the company is

“operating with business as

usual,” there are plans to

brief Warner’s office about

the company’s ongoing ef-

“They may not go to the

doctor when they are sick for

lack of insurance and they

may not stay home due to

loss of income,” Warner’s let-

ter reads. “A health emer-

gency for which they bear no

responsibility should not

place an undue financial

burden on workers and their

family.”

Gig Workers Rising, an

advocacy group that repre-

sents on-demand platform

workers, also released an

open letter demanding com-

panies provide paid time off

for illness. “By continuing to

deny us paid sick leave, Uber

and Lyft are doing nothing

to prevent this public health

crisis from worsening,” the

group wrote.

Some of the companies in

question have begun to in-

troduce measures designed

to help contractors avoid po-

tential contact with the

virus. Postmates and Door-

Dash, for instance, are now

allowing customers to desig-

nate if they want to have

their package dropped off at

their door instead of handed

directly to them. Couriers,

however, do not have access

to the same feature.

Some of the companies

have also reiterated CDC

recommendations in mes-

sages to the workers on

forts “and policy options to

invest in the well-being of

our flexible workforce.”

“Community health and

safety is paramount at Post-

mates, and we continue to is-

sue in-app, precautionary

CDC guidance with those

carrying out deliveries so

that they are aware of the

latest preventative mea-

sures,” De Smeath said in a

statement. The company

also announced an option to

designate drop-off of an item

without contact, De Smeath

said.

In a statement, Grubhub

said, “Our internal task force

is in contact every day to

continue to address the

many complicated issues for

platform companies arising

out of the coronavirus out-

break, and we are focused on

prioritizing the health and

safety of our drivers, diners

and restaurant partners. We

share Senator Warner’s con-

cerns about the safety and

welfare of our drivers and

look forward to working with

the senator on these impor-

tant issues.”

Warner, who with 14 other

senators also urged other

major U.S. employers to pri-

oritize workers’ health and

economic well-being on

Thursday, said he’s con-

cerned gig companies’ ef-

forts do not sufficiently ad-

dress the challenges facing

contractors. “In order to lim-

it the spread of COVID-19, it

is critical that platform com-

panies lead by example by

committing that economic

uncertainty will not be de-

terrents to their workers fol-

lowing public health guid-

ance during the response,”

he wrote in his letters.

Several other major tech

companies that have large

workforces of contractors

and hourly staff — including

Google, Amazon and Face-

book — have committed to

paying regular hourly wages

to workers who cannot per-

form their jobs remotely.

Several conferences have

been put on hold including

the South by Southwest tech

and entertainment festival,

Facebook’s F8 developer

conference and the Game

Developer Conference.

Outside of the tech in-

dustry, companies such as

Trader Joe’s are finding

ways to encourage sick em-

ployees to stay home. The

grocery chain is giving work-

ers additional paid sick time

and asking them to stay

home for at least 24 hours if

they experience symptoms

or don’t feel well.

In California, concerns

over workplace protections

during a health crisis arise

amid continued debate over

workers’ employment status

in the state and the lack of an

employer-provided safety

net for gig workers. Under

Assembly Bill 5, Uber, Lyft,

Postmates and others could

be forced to treat the work-

ers as employees, affording

them healthcare coverage

and paid time off.

The companies are at-

tempting to avoid enforce-

ment of the newly enacted

law, and are continuing a

$110-million campaign to

keep treating drivers as con-

tractors while offering some

benefits. When it comes to

health benefits, a ballot

measure the companies are

sponsoring offers to pay a

quarterly healthcare sub-

sidy for contractors who

work a minimum 15 hours a

week.

San Diego Democrat Lo-

rena Gonzalez, the Califor-

nia Assembly member who

wrote AB 5, said the co-

ronavirus outbreak reinforc-

es the need for a law that

provides strong protections

for misclassified workers.

She dismissed the ballot

measure, saying it would not

provide either healthcare

coverage or sick leave to

most on-demand platform

workers.
