Instawork app penalizes workers for joining strikes, union files complaint
Unite Here Local 11 filed an unfair labor practice complaint with the National Labor Relations Board against Instawork, a staffing app. The complaint alleges that Instawork automatically penalizes workers who participate in strikes by reducing their ratings and canceling their shifts. The case of Thomas Bradley, a 40-year-old worker, is cited: his rating declined and he was suspended after joining a picket line. Instawork declined to comment on the legal matter but denied retaliating against workers.
