Instacart markets itself as a way to save customers a trip to the market. Customers can order groceries online from chains like Fairway, Western Beef, and Gristedes and have them delivered to their doorstep or have groceries prepared for pickup.

Advocates are calling for workers to walk off the job nationwide Monday over what they call unsafe conditions amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

Robin Pape is with the Gig Workers Collective, the non-profit group organizing the strike. 

"We're putting our lives at risk while they call us household heroes while they continue to send us triple deliveries for 7 dollars and it's insulting," said Pape.

Pape works as a full service instacart shopper in Ithaca, NY where she accepts gigs to go shopping for customers and deliver the items to their homes. The collective wants workers to be provided with hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes and soap. They also want the suggested base tip to go from 5% to 10% along with an extra $5 per order.

"I'm worried about catching the Coronavirus just like everyone else is. I'm worried about being in a hospital by myself or passing it along to one of my children." said Pape.

Earlier this week Instacart said they'd be hiring 300,000 workers to help meet increased demand. On Friday, the company announced several updated safety measures and corporate policies, including additional bonuses for workers and an extended sick leave for those diagnosed with coronavirus or placed in mandatory quarantine.

"I think the work that we're doing is required and it is essential and it would be nice to be treated like that," Pape said.

Instacart maintains health and safety is their top priority for customers and employees. Strike organizers say they've invited more than 15,000 people to take part nationwide Monday.
