Postmates Inc. is expanding an aid program for its delivery workers affected by Covid-19 to include relief for some parents and caregivers left without childcare or who are caring for sick family members.
The fourth-largest delivery app in the U.S. plans to announce Monday that it will provide cash stipends for families in California and New York through its Postmates Fleet Relief Fund. The policy goes a step further than what other major gig economy companies are offering their workers; however, Postmates is short on details about how many people will be eligible.
