The action is in protest of pay received from delivery companies Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Stuart, which operates deliveries for food sold through Just Eat
He said: “When you have to pay for insurance, the car and petrol as well it’s not enough.He said that there are many other couriers in the city that he believes will take part in the strike action; estimating the total number will be “between 800 and 1,000 people”.
A Deliveroo spokesperson said it is proud to work with tens of thousands of riders in the UK and added that it has now partnered with the GMB Union “to guarantee that riders earn the national living wage, plus costs, while working”, adding that “the vast majority of riders earn significantly more than that”.
Brendan Hamill, UK General Manager of Stuart, said: “At Stuart, we take our courier partners' concerns very seriously and have always made a point of giving them equal opportunity to voice their concerns with us, which we act on wherever possible. "Stuart’s per drop fees are amongst the highest in the sector and average courier earnings, calculated by the time couriers spend on deliveries, exceed the real living wage.”
