Couriers to strike every Friday workersliberty.org - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from workersliberty.org Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Drivers for Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat have announced strikes every Friday and bank holiday over pay. This comes after two successful strikes in February. The demand of the strike is £5 minimum for each order. Because food couriers are designated as “self-employed” they have no guaranteed basic pay, getting variable fees for each delivery. They also don’t have automatic rights to sick pay, holiday pay, pensions or parental leave. A recent report looked at pay in the sector and found most platforms couldn’t provide evidence that workers’ pay was minimum wage after costs.
