On Tuesday, Seattle’s city council passed legisation that would protect gig workers from being suddenly kicked off apps like Instacart or DoorDash. It’s the first gig worker protection measure of its kind in the entire country.
Any competent contractor will include a termination clause in their contract. I have signed many contracts, and every single one had language to terminate the contract under some specific circumstances.
Especially with a big company like uber they can bury a favorable termination clause somewhere in the contract, and you can’t exactly negotiate with an app if the terms aren’t to your liking.
Companies have lawyers who get paid handsomely to write language to let them get away with things. There’s no way they would be deactivating contractors if it was opening them up to significant liabilities.
Washington does not have “right to work” laws.
You are mistaken.
