Instacart Shoppers Criticize Company For Slow Release Of Promised PPE

Instacart promised their workers risking their health, the necessary personal protective equipment they need. According to Gizmodo, workers are supposed to claim their PPE kits on the company website. The kits including a face mask, hand sanitizer and reusable forehead thermometer have frequently sold out. Some workers say they were able to order their kits but have taken a long time to arrive or have not arrived. A spokesperson for Instacart said they shipped “tens of thousands” of kits two week after announcing they would provide PPE to their workers.
