Shipt stated that it disagrees with the charge and that the majority of its employees prefer the ability to choose their own hours. “Shipt Shoppers are independent contractors, and the freedom that comes with being an independent contractor is the key reason Shipt Shoppers choose to earn on our platform,” Evangeline George, a spokesperson for Shipt, told CBS News. According to its own poll, 80 percent of its employees rated such flexibility as a top priority.
