UK: Riders set out demands for Deliveroo at protest over reduced wages, including removing vehicle priority, and reverting fee changes

"Deliveroo riders gather at Nottingham's Brian Clough statue to protest over pay", 20 September 2019

Deliveroo riders were once again out protesting over pay and working conditions in Nottingham city centre. They were protesting over a recent change in the way riders can log on to the platform to take orders that they say means riders' real earnings drop to below minimum wage...

...Alex Marshall, chairman of IWGB Couriers’ Branch, said: “Every time Deliveroo introduce a change it comes at the cost of the workers' wages. On a monthly basis they are finding innovative ways to drive down the cost of labour and this is hammer blow after hammer blow for our members..."...

...The demands of Nottingham Deliveroo riders are:

- "Remove free login, allowing riders to maximise their hourly wage. 

- "Revert the fee change back to the previous minimum of £3.90 for cyclists and £4.15 for motorised vehicles.

- "Remove vehicle priority to enable a fair access to work for all."

Deliveroo was contacted for a response, but did not respond by the time of publication.
