Just Eat couriers will demonstrate outside of Greggs's Newcastle HQ as part of a historic strike over pay cuts.
The couriers, who are part of the Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain (IWGB), will target Just Eat client Greggs on Thursday, March 24. It comes as subcontractor Stuart Delivery, which employs the couriers, slashed the base rate of delivery pay by 24% in December 2021 amidst the cost of living crisis.
The IWGB union says Stuart Delivery couriers are forced to work "upwards of 12 hours a day for poverty pay," with the pay cut seeing wages drop from £4.50 to £3.40. JustEat couriers are also forced to pay fuel and vehicle costs out of their own wages.
