In London, deliveroo is one of the most visible examples of this. I see them on every road, rushing through traffic so they can make minimum wage.

Sure enough, they have accidents as a result, again, something I see on an almost daily basis. They get no sick pay if this happens, no support whatsoever from deliveroo. So they get back on their bike, injured, and carry on working, as they have no choice.

They also get a lot of abuse from drunk customers in the late evening. Again, they just grin and bear it and carry on.

This is the definition of exploitation.

It's thoroughly depressing, almost Dickensian.

That company has sprung up so fast and yet I still don't really understand what it is. They're all over Cardiff, and from what I can tell it's just a generic delivery service for restaurants that don't want to hire their own drivers?

If I had to pick a minimum wage job, it certainly wouldn't be carrying a rectangular box on a bicycle through Britain's terrifying traffic.
