In other news, riders from around the world are launching a work slowdown to protest against the platform’s withholding of rider pay and their discontent with the police arrest of Xiong Yan.
Mr. Zhang told the station that “hungry” riders have discussed a nationwide strike starting next Monday to protest against the platform’s bullying of riders, as well as in solidarity with rider rights organizer Xiong Yan. But so far, it’s unclear how many delivery riders will respond because the information is controlled.
Mr. Zhang said: Some groups of riders have mentioned that they are going to go on strike on March 8. But this will not affect the entire group of dispatchers, it should be a circle of their own they have such an idea. One is because from the New Year, “hungry” that a series of operations, and then to the delivery alliance allies were taken away, many people this emotion will be more intense now. Microblogging and then the public number has been the news issued, but generally do not stay much longer, after the issue, will soon be cleared.
Mr. Zhang also pointed out that in the mainland, including the “hungry” takeaway platform, while the harsh way to control delivery riders, but also unwilling to assume the responsibility of employers, resulting in the current poor situation of delivery riders. However, the relatively loose organization of the riders also makes it difficult for them to coordinate their daily rights and even this strike action.
Mr. Zhang said: delivery workers is a scattered labor bar, in fact, it is a lot of employees did not sign a contract with “hungry” directly, although they are wearing “hungry” clothes, but in fact it does not belong to the “hungry “employees. It is through a form of outsourcing, scattered to a variety of labor dispatch ah kind of company to recruit employees. In fact, this group is more difficult, such as working longer hours, and then, often by the platform to deduct income for various reasons, but the number of this group is still a lot, but generally people do not want to do this thing too long, many people take this as a transitional occupation.
Beijing courier rider Mr. He revealed in the WeChat circle of friends, there are more than ten groups of nearly 10,000 delivery workers, as long as half of them join the idle and strike, will affect the “hungry” operation. He himself has also quit the “hungry”, to switch to another delivery platform services, protest “hungry” in the Xiong Yan was arrested after also fallen on the well.
Our reporters have repeatedly called the “hungry” delivery platform headquarters in Shanghai, but many of the phones are not answered. So far, have not heard of official intervention in this strike crisis.
Specialized delivery service “delivery knight alliance” was established less than a year, the organizer Xiong Yan and a number of his friends, last Thursday (February 25) was arrested by the Beijing police, but the police did not disclose the reason.
