Ep 493#493 | How a bill becomes a law (app based gig platforms)
Kentucky Delivery Network Company Driver Transparency & Protections Act SECTION 1. KRS Chapter [to be assigned] is amended to create a new section to read as follows: As used in Sections 1 to 10 of this Act, unless the context requires otherwise: "Delivery network company" or "DNC" means an entity that: (a) Uses a digital network to connect consumers with drivers to facilitate delivery services; (b) Collects payments from consumers for such delivery services; and (c) Compensates drivers for providing such services. "Driver" means an individual who: (a) Is engaged by a delivery network company to provide delivery services; (b) May be classified as an independent contractor or an employee; and (c) Uses a personal or commercial vehicle to fulfill delivery requests. "Consumer" means an individual who uses a delivery network company’s platform to request and receive delivery services. SECTION 2. A delivery network company shall, for each delivery transaction: Clearly disclose to the consumer: (a) The total amount charged for the delivery, including all fees, tips, and service charges; and (b) The amount or percentage of the total that will be remitted to the driver. Clearly disclose to the driver prior to accepting a delivery offer: (a) The total amount payable for the delivery; and (b) Any tip included; and (c) Delivery pick up and drop off location; and (d) Delivery total miles. Ensure that: (a) One hundred percent (100%) of any tip provided by the consumer is paid to the driver; and (b) A driver's base compensation is not reduced based on the amount of a tip. SECTION 3. A delivery network company shall provide each driver with access to all contracts or terms of service that govern the relationship between the driver and the company. Any updates or changes to contract terms shall be: (a) Provided to the driver via the digital platform and via email; and (b) Presented in clear and understandable language. A delivery network company shall: (a) Make available all current contract templates to drivers in English and Spanish; and (b) Post notice of any revised contract terms at least fourteen (14) days prior to implementation. SECTION 4. A delivery network company shall maintain and publicly post a written driver deactivation policy.

Deactivation policies and appeal procedures shall be made available on the company’s website. SECTION 5. When matching a driver with a consumer for a delivery, the company shall include a prompt or notice requesting that the consumer facilitate a safe delivery environment, which may include: (a) Keeping paths to delivery locations clear and well-lit; and (b) Securing pets or potential hazards. A driver shall be provided no fewer than sixty (60) seconds to review and accept or decline a delivery offer. SECTION 6.

Ep 491#491 | Workers & Customers Right To Complete Detailed Transparency
Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 491) Gig App Transparency: What DoorDash & Uber DON’T Show You (But Should) Are you a gig app driver or a customer using DoorDash or Uber? It's time to talk about complete transparency — something that's long overdue in the gig economy. In this video, we break down how drivers are often kept in the dark about their full payout, and why customers deserve to know exactly where their money is going. From hidden tips to vague service fees, the current system leaves both sides guessing. That’s not just bad business — it’s unfair. We call for: 100% transparency in driver offers – No more hidden tips or adjusted payouts after delivery. Detailed customer payment breakdowns – Customers should see exactly how much goes to the driver, how much is kept by the company, and what part covers fees. Real-time earnings info – Drivers deserve to know what they’re accepting BEFORE committing to the job. Trust & fairness on both sides – When drivers and customers are informed, the platform becomes stronger for everyone. Whether you're hustling to make ends meet or just ordering lunch, you have a right to transparency. Drop a comment with your experiences as a driver or customer. Are you getting the info you need? Let's demand better from these platforms — together. Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo

Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 488): California’s AB5, Prop 22, and AB1340, which aim to redefine gig workers’ status, with AB5’s 2019 passage sparking lawsuits from Uber and Lyft over driver classification. Prop 22, approved in November 2020 with 59% voter support and backed by $205 million from gig companies like Uber and Lyft, allows drivers to remain independent contractors, countering AB5. AB1340, currently under review in 2025, proposes labor relations changes for gig drivers, reflecting ongoing legislative tension. Rideshare Rodeo Brand & Podcast: https://linktr.ee/RideshareRodeo

Ep 463#463 | New Jersey vs. Independent Contractors
Today on the podcast, I’m joined by two incredible guests: Mike Hruby (https://x.com/venturemike1) and Kim Kavin (https://x.com/thekimkavin). Mike is a seasoned advocate for independent work and entrepreneurship, while Kim is a respected journalist and a passionate voice for freelancers' rights. Together, we dive deep into the alarming developments happening right now in New Jersey, where the state Labor Department has proposed a new independent-contractor rule that could drastically restrict the freedom of an estimated 1.7 million people who work as independent contractors, freelancers, self-employed individuals, and gig economy drivers for companies like Uber and DoorDash. This episode unpacks what’s really at stake. While the proposed policies are being framed as protections, what the proposed NJDOL rule states is that it will not create any jobs. The fear is that ICs get wiped out and are left with nothing. that would strip people of the flexibility, autonomy, and control that make independent work so vital. Mike and Kim explain how similar policy-making. has played out in other states, and why this movement could have nationwide implications. It’s a critical conversation for anyone who values the freedom to choose how and when they work.
