Translation: Detention of Takeout Driver Advocate Highlights Digital-era Labor Abuses
Posted by Josh Rudolph | Mar 4, 2021
The strike comes after Xiong Yan, who headed an unofficial union formed by workers for the food delivery app Ele.me and other services, was detained in Beijing last month. His whereabouts are still unknown.
According to several people familiar with the situation, Ele.me workers have been on a go-slow or refusing to work at all since Xiong’s “disappearance,” resulting in a sharp rise in timed-out orders.
A person familiar with the situation who gave only a surname, Zhang, said Ele.me riders are considering a nationwide strike on Monday to protest the platform’s treatment of riders and Xiong’s presumed detention.

Meituan food delivery workers protest against lower rates by going on strike in Shenzhen, the Hong Kong-based China Labour Bulletin (CLB) said on its Strike Map on Monday.
Hundreds of workers are demanding a pay increase and better conditions, it said.
