Following the launch of our campaign and the publication of the Ocado Report dated 8th September 2021, new posters have gone up in the Acton warehouse. 1 side of A4 has been expanded to 3 sides, but the info is largely the same, just arranged as an FAQ. Importantly however... 1/ 
the poster reads that drivers who transfer to the agency will be offered direct employment with Ocado “after one week”. We're hopeful this is a typo and means “within one week”, but that is not what the poster says; drivers could be offered in-house in 2 weeks or in 2 years! 2/
1) Thanks for all your support with the #ShameOnOcado campaign so far. Here’s a thread of the timeline leading to the campaign & exposing some of the cruel tactics @Ocado are using to try & either force HUGE pay cuts on these key workers or force them out all together!
2) In 2018 @Ocado saw opportunity in rapid delivery & thought they’d test it with a depot in West London. With unknown demand, they didnt commit to employee contracts & opted for exploitative gig economy model to build business. Not what you expect from household name like Ocado!
3) @Ocado outsourced the work to @Stuart_Delivery who offered workers different hourly rates on shifts or ad hoc work (but zero rights) to come build the business up. These couriers used their own vehicles, paid for their fuel & all other expenses & only did deliveries for Ocado
