Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat riders to strike on Valentine’s Day
Delivery drivers working for four takeaway apps, including Deliveroo and Uber Eats, are preparing to strike on Valentine’s Day as they push for better pay and working conditions, the BBC has reported.
The strike action, which will include 3,000 delivery drivers and riders across four apps including Deliveroo, Uber Eats, Just Eat and Stuart, is expected to take place between 5pm and 11pm on Wednesday, February 14.
The strike intends to bring attention to poor pay and working conditions faced by riders. An Instagram group behind the strike named Delivery Job UK claims that delivery riders are braving the “cold, rain and absurd distances” for deliveries paying “ridiculous values” ranging from £2.80 to £3.15.
