Hey, @bigdoordash.bsky.social. We fixed it. A lukewarm admission and a forced settlement barely begin to make things right for all the app-based workers you’ve exploited. So, when can we expect a settlement for all dashers who haven’t received a fair wage?

Converse. Target. Burberry. Gucci. Prada. Different companies. Same story: racist ads and products, public backlash, then an apology. How does this keep happening? When Black voices aren’t in the room, companies miss what should’ve been obvious.
