The UK’s top food delivery firms—#Deliveroo, Just Eat and #Uber Eats—have signed the Greater #Manchester Food Delivery Charter to improve road safety. In partnership with GMCA, TfGM, police, and fire services, the charter sets safety standards for couriers using bikes and e-bikes. It promotes legal, responsible riding, realistic delivery times, and the reporting of injury collisions. As demand for delivery rises, this initiative supports Greater Manchester’s Vision Zero goal to eliminate road deaths by 2040. Regular ‘days of action’ and enforcement by police will ensure compliance. Companies will also educate couriers on e-bike safety and collaborate with public agencies to enhance safety measures for both riders and the public.

Transport for Greater ManchesterUK’s biggest food delivery companies sign new charter to help make Greater Manchester roads safer
If you’re ordering #JustEat or #Deliveroo or #UberEats or local equivalent today, you’d better jolly well be tipping your riders double or triple. Workers deserve a good #Christmas too.

"Next time a council announces a crackdown on cycling due to the activity of delivery riders, perhaps have a think about why and how we have allowed companies to operate with a business model that is more or less predicated on mass illegality."

The Guardian · Speeding delivery e-bikes are a menace – but the solution isn’t to push all cyclists into the road
Migrant workers living in a caravan encampment in #Bristol raided by immigration enforcement officers have accused the Home Office of targeting the victims of labour exploitation rather than companies profiting from the hidden economy.

Continued thread
If you live in any city in the UK its very painfully obvious how exploitative #Deliveroo and #UberEats are.
You don’t need to order from them and do the maths to see how little their riders are paid.
You just have to see with your own eyes the exhausted riders out in all weathers at all times of the day.
You see them on every street. At every restaurant that does takeaway. They never stop. They are so tired they regularly deliver to wrong address - I’ve had 3 random meals left on my doorstep.
#Labour said it wanted to do away with zero hour contracts…and then gets into bed with #Deliveroo.
Letting this exploitative company sponsor their party events is failing 101 Event Management in 2024.
It’s just so basic.

Here's a thing; if you are going to order food from a delivery company like #UberEats, #Foodora, #Wolt, #Deliveroo, #JustEat, etc. then once you have picked your restaurant, go and check the restaurant website to see if they have their own delivery option.
Sometimes they offer delivery themselves - or with a chosen partner company - and it can work out cheaper for you. Or if it's the same price, but the restaurant sometimes pockets more from the sale.

The Platform Work Directive was supposed to improve workers’ rights across the European Union. But then it was defeated.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke to Ben Wray about what happened and where the fight for gig workers’ rights goes next.

Just in a local pizza place chatting with the owner, a Neapolitan, and the young woman who waits on tables. If you use #JustEat or #Deliveroo the business gets a bit over £30 on a £50 order when you include delivery, commission and so on. He shrugs and says “It’s the mafia…” I can’t imagine much of this all goes to the e-bike riders….

Delivery workers will meet at the Spire on O’Connell St @ 5pm on Weds, 14 Feb, as part of an international strike action. They will switch off all delivery apps at 5pm-10pm.
If you can join them in solidarity, please do! 
No love for exploitation!
Up the workers!

BBC NewsDeliveroo and Uber Eats riders strike on Valentine's DayThe action, affecting firms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats, is in a dispute over pay and conditions.
This year on #ValentinesDay support the #gigeconomy #workers at #Deliveroo & #UberEats by not ordering food from these platforms & helping them make their one day strike effective.
Many drivers struggle to earn a #livingwage, while their exploitative conditions are now well known.
these are no tech-firms, their business model is based on #wagetheft & the denial of workers' rights as a way to build market share & profitability.
Stand with the riders & drivers!

The #Deliveroo judgement at the #SupremeCourt is one more aspect of the divergence from our previously solid #workers rights as part of the EU - a #Brexit benefit, but not for #Workers
'We face a dire combination of emboldened companies cutting real wages, intensifying work & undermining legal protections, and two major political parties that are fundamentally unwilling to grant workers the democratic right to organise in the workplace'!
Yes, that sounds about right!
The Guardian · Be warned: Deliveroo’s victory over its riders shows just how vulnerable British workers are
The Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) has lost its case at the #SupremeCourt (the last of 5yrs of appeals) meaning that #Deliveroo can continue to regard its #workers as self-employed, robbing them of employment protections & rights.
Just to be clear, if your #gigeconomy business model requires workers to have few rights & protections, you are not a tech innovator, you are an old-style labour exploiter!
This is not the 'new economy' it the Victorian economy!
