Alkas was working for @boltapp when he was brutally assaulted and almost killed by passengers.

Despite reporting it to Bolt, they told him he was unable to open a case because he had waited more than 24 hours to file the case.

They refused to help him at all. Image When Alkas asked for the details of his attackers, Bolt refused, yet his attackers had access to Alkas name and picture even before getting in the vehicle.

Even after vicious attacks, Bolt are more concerned with protecting customers than their vulnerable drivers.

Read and RT the shocking thread!

theguardian.com/business/2022/… 2/ @Stuart_Delivery’s own mapping system frequently directs drivers down illegal and unsafe routes. And the head of engineering admits it!

🚨 Pay equality now!

@LSHTM is in-housing its majority-BAME cleaners, porters & security, but it's still maintaining a 2-tier pay structure! It’s time for LSHTM to end the discrimination for good and give our workers a dignified wage!

Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/in-h… 2/ Outsourced cleaners, security, porters & post-room staff at @LSHTM have faced years of discrimination, on worse pay & conditions than directly employed colleagues - part of a bigger problem of structural racism at the university.
