What insurance maintained by DoorDash covers?

"Covered while dashing: Occupational accident coverage. DoorDash provides occupational accident coverage automatically. If you're injured during an active delivery, it may help protect you and your earnings — with no enrollment, no premiums, no deductible, and no co-pay. Benefits may include medical expenses up to $1,000,000 and disability payments of 50% of your average weekly earnings (up to $500/week). - Doordash

How do billionaires get away with exploiting gig workers? Denying them the insurance benefits they are entitled to if they are injured (like being shot in the back by an ICE agent). Why is there no accountability?

DoorDash uses AI to exploit workers

When DoorDash, which, with 400,000 contract workers is the largest on-demand food delivery service in the nation, faced fresh criticism over its deceptive tipping policies—the app used tips from consumers to pay out the minimum delivery fee it promised its gig workers, called ‘Dashers’, instead of letting them keep the whole tip themselves, essentially putting the tip directly in DoorDash’s coffers—it finally capitulated. - Gizmodo

Take Away: VOTE! Hold billionaires accountable for rigging the system and exploiting gig workers.
