Sheffield IWGB Couriers visited the Sheffield uni students encampment for Palestine to offer solidarity ✊🇵🇸

These students stood with us on our picket lines and now we fight together again.

They are in need of more sleeping bags and tents. Please support them if you can!

📣 BREAKING: Today Sheffield couriers delivered a letter to Five Guys, signed by over 50 local couriers. We demand an end to being forced to wait for orders for long times in the cold and rain.

Thread 🧵

[IWGB Couriers @IWGB_CLB]

We've been promised written confirmation in 7 working days, so watch this space 👀

[IWGB Couriers @IWGB_CLB]

✊🏾 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO RESTAURANTS THAT DISRESPECT DELIVERY DRIVERS!

We sent a petition, tried to meet the bosses... Nothing.

🥳 Today we boycotted @kfc City Rd Sheffield and won all our demands! No more waiting in the cold, no more disrespect, or we boycott again!!!

[Dr Rizwana Lala @Rizwanalala]

On the @SYorksCouriers picket in Sheffield. I oppose the exploitation of gig economy workers. We must stand in solidarity to support the demands of workers to be treated with dignity and respect

[IWGB Couriers Sheffield @SYorksCouriers]

We know that drivery drivers play a crucial role in society.

Like other workers, we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. We are not second class citizens!

Other restaurants that disrespect delivery drivers should watch out, we're coming for you next.

[IWGB Couriers Sheffield @SYorksCouriers]

📣 SUPPORTERS! 📣

Come down to KFC City Road, Sheffield, tonight to support our boycott.

We've been left with no choice but to take action 🧵

[IWGB Couriers Sheffield @SYorksCouriers]

We're demanding respect and dignity and being allowed to wait inside the restaurant, not out in the cold for long times, risking getting sick.

We've given management a letter with over 50 drivers' signatures. We tried to meet with them for 5 weeks now. But they've ignored us.

Absolute state of it.

Our branch, run by couriers, has no interest in cosy partnerships or deals with exploitative companies like @Deliveroo

Since 2016 IWGB deliveroo members have been successfully organising to win higher pay and better conditions across the UK.

We stand in solidarity with Kirill and all members of the Courier union as they fight for better working conditions in the face of violent repression from the Russian state.
