Foodora Canada’s move to leave the market is a cruel act by a multinational corporation in the middle of a pandemic. Food delivery couriers, like postal workers, have been continuing to provide a vital service in the pandemic, yet Foodora has provided zero safety protocols, PPE, or supports.
Foodora couriers – aka Foodsters United – have been organizing for two years and almost a full year with CUPW’s Justice for Foodora Couriers public campaign. This work has been groundbreaking on so many levels, challenging all gig employers everywhere to treat workers with fairness and respect.
CUPW doesn’t plan to let Foodora and their parent company Delivery Hero off the hook, and the couriers themselves remain determined to be part of the worldwide effort to fix working conditions in the gig economy.
