"Bolt Food couriers to strike on Friday over poor working conditions", 28 July 2022

Soon after the incident, the couriers decided to take action and hold a strike in demand for better pay, especially given their poor working conditions.

Some 260 couriers are expected to take part in the strike on Friday, with some planning to continue the strike into the weekend.
