1) Meet Khalid. He’s 27 and a father of three. He worked through the COVID-19 pandemic for @Deliveroo taking food to the public while they kept safe. Recently Khalid was unfairly terminated and has desperately set up a fundraiser for himself and his family justgiving.com/crowdfunding/h…
2) Khalid worked long days almost everyday of the week and just a couple of weeks after being terminated his is already behind on his bills and facing destitution. This shows you just how close to poverty these courses are despite spending almost every waking hour at work
3) @Deliveroo publicly hail their courier workforce as “heroes” but the way they treat them could not be further from hero treatment. Long hours, barely making enough to make ends meet and unfair terminations is the story most couriers will repeat wired.co.uk/article/delive…
4) Recently @Deliveroo decided to put 15000 more riders on the road with is a hammer blow to the current workforce who will see conditions go from bad to worse as Deliveroo oversupply places for with an unknown demand driving down already awful wages medium.com/@brokenbottleb…
5) All this is done as they hang onto the coattails of @MarcusRashford attempts to #EndChildPoverty. We hear of unjust terminations with no fair process EVERY SINGLE DAY that are driving couriers, many of whom are parents, into poverty.
6) The situation is so bad that riders are taking direct action all over the UK boycotting big partners like @wagamama_uk and @FiveGuysUK (who make millions in deliveries using this exploited workforce) in a bid to secure fair working conditions leftfootforward.org/2020/09/yorksh…
7) So please give what you can to Khalid and share this far and wide to show him we care and that he is a hero. Khalid, and others like him, deserve better treatment and everyone should know the truth about @Deliveroo who do not value human life in their selfish pursuit of profit
