DELIVEROO riders are striking tomorrow for a real living wage, enhanced Covid-19 safety protections and basic workers’ rights to coincide with the company’s listing on the London Stock Exchange.
The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB) said that socially distanced protests will also be held in London, York, Sheffield, Reading and Wolverhampton.
Supportive action is expected internationally in Australia, France, the Netherlands, Ireland and Spain, underlining the fact that the takeaway giant is now the world’s “most protested app-based platform,” the IWGB said.
Following last month’s revelation that Deliveroo pays some riders, classed as “self-employed,” as little as £2 per hour, at least 12 major investment firms have indicated they will not buy shares in the company as its valuation plummeted from £9 billion to £5.5bn.
