Read our privacy policy Hundreds of couriers for UberEats, Uber’s food delivery service in London, are planning an all-day strike on Friday over low pay, in the latest sign that unrest among workers in the sharing economy is growing. The news comes after couriers from rival food delivery service Deliveroo protested outside the company’s headquarters in London over proposed changes in the way they were paid, earlier this month. UberEats has drastically reduced couriers’ rates since the service launched in the capital in June, according to the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain which helped organise the strike together with United Voices of the World Union. But Mags Dewhurst, the chair of the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain’s couriers and logistics branch, said UberEats is becoming less and less rewarding to work for.
