Dear Fellow Gig Workers,
As someone who stands alongside you in the daily hustle of gig work, I understand the challenges and uncertainties that come with this type of employment. From fluctuating earnings to the lack of traditional work benefits, our work life can often feel like a high-wire act with no safety net below. This is why I am reaching out today to invite you to join the United Delivery Advocates, a dedicated organization that aims to transform our collective challenges into actionable change.
The United Delivery Advocates does not and will never charge our members a single dollar, as we believe it is the responsibility of major companies to take care of their workers, not the workers to fend for each other.
1. Stronger Together: Unity is our strength. By coming together, we create a powerful voice that cannot be ignored by those who make decisions affecting our lives. Our combined efforts can influence policies and practices that impact gig workers nationwide.
2. Fair Compensation: We are committed to advocating for fair pay standards, including minimum wage guarantees and compensation for wait times and cancellations. Every dollar you earn should be a fair reflection of your hard work and dedication.
3. Benefits and Protections: We strive to secure essential benefits for our members, such as health insurance, paid sick leave, and retirement plans. These are not just perks but necessities for anyone relying on gig work as their primary source of income.
4. Legal and Job Security: We fight for your right to be recognized under appropriate employment classifications and for transparent policies regarding job security, including clear guidelines on deactivation and appeals processes.
5. Resources and Support: Membership grants access to a range of support services tailored to meet the unique needs of gig workers, including legal assistance, financial advice, and mental health resources.
6. Education and Awareness: We aim to educate both the public and policymakers about the true nature of gig work, challenging misconceptions and advocating for policies that reflect our reality.
7. Collective Bargaining: We support efforts to allow you to organize and bargain collectively, a fundamental right that can lead to better working conditions and greater job satisfaction.
Investing $30 in an annual membership with the United Delivery Advocates is more than a financial decision—it is a step towards securing a better future for yourself and your fellow gig workers. This fee goes directly into funding our advocacy efforts, resources, and the tools we need to fight for our rights.
Join us today to be part of a movement that values your work and fights for your rights. Together, we can drive change and make gig work a truly sustainable and rewarding way of life.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to enhance your work life and secure your future. We are stronger together, and with your support, there is so much we can achieve.
Best regards,
Amir Farahani
