Lyft just launched a “pandemic delivery service”-- but could it do more harm than good?
Thanks to Lyft’s shoddy sick pay policy, drivers can’t afford to stay home if they have a fever and a cough.
Lyft is still refusing these drivers sick leave -- unless they test positive for coronavirus. But Lyft execs know fully well that getting tested is virtually impossible for most people.
These drivers are just like you and me -- they don't want to be the reason anyone else gets sick. But Lyft is putting them in an impossible position -- drive sick or don’t eat.
But with your urgent help today, we can crack this ride-share giant. Lyft’s CEO lives in the San Francisco area -- and with your donation, we can take out a full-page scathing ad in his local paper -- and force him to put health before profit. Are you in?
