I have worked as a Deliveroo courier in London for a good while. I had no problems with it.

The issue as I see it is with people relying on their employer, client, whatever you wish to call it.

Business is business. If you treat it as anything other, you will eventually encounter issues (especially at the lower end).

The union stuff should be seen in that framework. It's a negotiation.

I got on my bike, made ten quid an hour in some free time, got a bit of exercise, and that was that. It's obviously not a career.

It's kind of frustrating to see people hypothesise. Go and apply and do it and see what it's like, the barrier to entry is near zero.
