Gig economy riders for the app-based meal delivery platform Deliveroo are set to join strikes in five U.K. cities Wednesday over pay and working conditions. Union organisers expect hundreds of riders to take part in the strike, which comes amid a broader backlash against the company and others in the gig sector. The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain, which represents migrant and gig workers, said socially distanced protests are planned in London, York, Reading, Sheffield and Wolverhampton to demand fair pay, safety protections and basic workers rights.
Deliveroo said this small self appointed union does not represent the vast majority of riders who tell us they value the total flexibility they enjoy.
