While politics gets consumed by Brexit, the rest of everyday life carries on still. After tiring of poor pay and conditions, the city’s Deliveroo drivers have gone on strike. Their demands are:

– Paid waiting times in restaurants at £10 per hour (17p per minute)

– Increased pay per distance at £1 per mile (+ the existing fee)

– Increased minimum drop pay to £5 per drop

– No victimisation for riders taking action on these demands

You can join them to show support – Friday 18th, 6pm at McDonalds on Broadmead. If you’re on Twitter, follow BristolIWW & CouriersNetwork for more info.
