Deleted tweet by @Deliveroo . Realised that making fun of workers being forced to work for multiple apps at the same time because pay is so bad wasn't the best idea? Multi-apping is incredibly stressful & if workers were paid enough & not denied basic rights, they wouldnt do it!

Was in Tesco buying dinner & got talking to an elderly lady digging through the last reduced items. She said “looks like Im eating old scotch eggs tonight. Its like they are trying to exterminate us.” I said its either that or a revolution. She said “Im ready when you are”✊❤️

Next food delivery strikes have been announced for the 23/2. With more cities and towns looking to jump on the strike wave I am expecting this to be even bigger than the last two. Spread the word with workers where you are & support on the day. LETS GO!! 🔥✊❤️

The vast majority of gig workers are migrants. On Friday Deliveroo sent out these cynical comms to incite the racist, abusive sentiment workers are subjected to daily in a deliberate attempt to vilify workers & encourage people to call the police on strikers.

EMPLOYMENT TIP: Stop denying your workers rights and treating them as disposable to avoid being “the most protested platform in the world” and having the “worst IPO in London’s history.”

HUGE WIN FOR THE WORKERS as @UberUK admit defeat & give workers the rights they have always deserved. This shows the you can have flexibility AND rights & sets a precedent for the rest of the gig economy. Time for @Deliveroo & the rest to follow suit!

Often these routes can take the worker to dangerous places as the “tech” doesn’t pick up vehicle type. This tweet is particularly bad taste in the same week that we lost @Deliveroo rider Marcos Mateus Alves who was killed in a crash in South London

Was great to chat to @OwenJones84 about the exploitation that goes on in getting that @amazon package to your front door! Spoiler alert: the workers that get it to you are worked to the bone and paid poverty wages 😫 However @IWGB_CLB is organising Amazon drivers to fight back!

While tens of thousands die, businesses from Amazon to private contractors are making a packet out of the pandemic. This is the story they don't want you to see.

Powerful day yesterday standing side by side with so many incredible people who will not stand for this assault on their right to protest. This is an attack on low paid workers & marginalised communities who use protest to end oppression. Yesterday showed we will not be silenced!

Someone needs to put “Grenfell forever in our hearts” on the Churchill box so Parliament are reminded everyday about the people who died and have still received no justice. A much better use of that space #JusticeForGrenfell

Changing the law to suppress the dissent of workers rather than actively engaging with them to improve working conditions and avert strikes shows just what kind of authoritarian, profit over people state we are up against. We will not be silenced & will only fight harder! ✊

(3) @UberEats drivers are not paid for waiting times and @McDonalds are notoriously bad for making couriers wait (outside in the rain) for long times. In fact so bad there is currently a boycott happening in Wolverhampton

On the night of the Valentines strike I tried to access the Battersea dark kitchen from this entrance but police had blocked it & said a dispersal order was in place. I’ve been told no dispersal order was in place. This misinformation was a clear attempt to scare protestors away

Yesterday we arrived at the Deliveroo kitchens in Battersea to this-police out in numbers to try break the strike. Again we see that when workers get organised & take action, the state intervenes to defend multinational corporations. This only brought the workers closer together!

Would be good if instead of prioritising shaming a low paid worker who is probably struggling to make ends meet, they went after the multimillion pound companies like @Deliveroo & @UberUK that are flagrantly ignoring employment law & exploiting workers by the thousands..

Another inspirational video of last nights food delivery strikes- this one in Brighton. Starting in the Brazilian community in South London, the decision to strike spread fast over the course of the week mobilising thousands of workers all over the UK by last night 🧵

1)Couriers have provided a vital service throughout the pandemic delivering food to the vulnerable, the sick and the public to keep them safe. However couriers' employers have done very little to look after them
