Restaurant and retail bosses have written to the Home Secretary urging for delivery riders, who are an “essential lifeline” of the industry, to be given greater protections from abuse under the Government’s new Bill to tackle crime.
Deliveroo, Pizza Express, Dishoom, Morrisons and Pho are among the businesses to call for an expansion of the Government’s plan to create a new offence for assaulting or threatening retail workers at their place of work, to include delivery riders while they are out on their jobs.
