Valentine’s Day plans are under threat as a barrage of strikes scheduled for Wednesday could disrupt doorstep deliveries from major companies including Uber Eats and Deliveroo, with some Amazon operations also halted.
The walkouts come as thousands of delivery drivers for the popular food and gift ordering platforms prepare to stage industrial action demanding better pay and working conditions.
Organised by grassroots group Delivery Job UK, some 3,000 drivers from Uber Eats, Just Eat, Deliveroo and last-mile logistics company Stuart will take their feet off the pedals during the peak time hours of 5pm to 10pm on Wednesday.
In a post on X, Delivery Job UK said: “This Valentine’s Day strike highlights the growing tensions between gig economy workers and the platforms they work for.
“As consumers, it’s crucial to consider the conditions under which our conveniences are delivered. #SupportGigWorkers.”
