'We Can't Take Your Call': Uber Drivers, Other Gig Workers Struggle For UnemploymentThe CARES Act extended unemployment benefits to gig workers — but many apps like Uber and Lyft don't pay into unemployment insurance. Now states are scrambling to create systems to process the claims, leaving gig workers without financial assistance. Aren't they *supposed to* but they're suing to retain their current status? So the workers can't have it both ways,. Be a gig worker who's a contractor, AND get unemployment, which is what I suspect UBER's problem is with it. (Uber sucks!) This is why they created AB5. No one should be left out of the safety net. Proud to say, not 1 cent given to Uber or Lyft. Did those 6000+ layed off employees from Uber get benefits? They don't pay in to system, so they shouldn't get it, but Was awesome to see the government trying to help them out. Uber ships on people to make money. Big biz
