🥳 VICTORY FOR SHEFFIELD DELIVERY DRIVERS 🥳 In the same month that they got Just Eat to backtrack on job losses, with the threat of strike action they successfully pushed back on @Stuart_Delivery's planned pay cuts! There's power in a union. ✂️ WE DON'T TAKE PAY CUTS ✂️

Companies like @Deliveroo, @UberEats & @JustEatUK pay these precarious workers per order and don't hesitate to fire them if delivery targets aren't met. @CityofYork have a duty to these workers and must provide a solution where these companies refuse to! https://t.co/54eqv0shK0

Full credit to @deliveroo for consistently stooping lower than you think is possible. Reliably shameless
Want to make sub-minimum wage on a platform with too many riders, too little work and no workers' rights whatsoever? Would you like to pay for the privilege? Well have @Deliveroo got the deal for you! 🤑
