Riders as well as labor unions connected to brands owned by Delivery Hero are currently in the process of uniting around the world.

The past few weeks and months have seen several strikes and protests at various companies owned by Delivery Hero. For example at Foodpanda Hong Kong, Foodpanda Pakistan, Yemeksepeti in Turkey, Talabat (United Arab Emirates), efood (Greece) and Foodpanda Myanmar. Most recently the International Confederation of Labor (ICL) forwarded a letter written by riders on the ground following a wildcat strike at Foodpanda Myanmar.

Delivery Hero, with its headquarter in Berlin, usually sits out the efforts by workers. Consequently Foodpanda riders in Myanmar, with support of the ICL Working Group Asia as well as external translators, kicked off efforts of connecting Delivery Hero riders worldwide.

The initiative Delivery Hero Riders United was born.

You are working for a brand linked to Delivery Hero or are involved in a union used by Delivery Hero riders to get organized? Get in touch with us: asia@icl-cit.org.

 

Strike by Foodpanda riders in Myanmar Reloaded!

Since the management didn’t react to their demands riders decided to go on strike again on June 6th, 2022.

They laid out their goals and call for boycott in this statement.

Due to the current political situation in Myanmar, with the military junta still in power and labor union activities being banned, the delivery workers are unable to rally in the streets. But some riders still took some pictures:

A comrade on the ground reported in the evening of the day:

The strike attracted attention of local media outlets. Many local groups such as student unions and resistance political forces, also helped spread the news about the riders strike (except one sad news is a group of youth who did rally in Monywa city in support of riders’ strike were chased by military and police vehicles and tried to run into them, fortunately they could avoid the hit and run). Riders said about 90% of them joined the work stoppage and are trying hard to keep the momemtun, surely this will be a challenging task due to foodpanda’s employment of enough new riders to substitute the old ones. But riders are determined to fight until their demands are achieved.

International solidarity

Riders of the Base Union Assembly for Bike and Motorbike riders (S.V.E.O.D.) rallied in front of efood headquarter in Athens and also managed to inform people inside the headquarter about the strike by the colleagues in Myanmar. Efood Delivery workers are organized with S.V.E.O.D. and therefore also help fellow colleagues to unite internationally.

The following statement was issued:

Colleagues,
in the global village of planet earth, distances have been reduced to zero. Whether we are working in Athens, in Rio de Janeiro, in Sydney or in Yangon Myanmar, the struggle for full salary and insurance rights is a common one. The struggle for class dignity and class pride doesn’t have any age, it doesn’t have colour, it doesn’t have sex or gender, it doesn’t have religion, it doesn’t have nationality. International solidarity and the common struggles of our class were, are and will always be our collective answer to every violation of our labour rights.
As a union we support the struggle of our colleagues in Myanmar that starts on 6
th of June 2022, challenging the boot of the military regime, against the exploitation and the oppression of the digital platform Foodpanda, subsidiary of the German multinational Delivery Hero.

In Istanbul the Tourism, Leisure and Service Workers’ Union (TEHIS), within which also riders of Yemeksepeti (Delivery Hero) are organized, arranged a rally in solidarity:

To support the struggling riders they released the following statement and call on unions worldwide to endorse it with them together:

Announcement of Delivery Hero’s workers regarding the strike of Foodpanda Riders in Myanmar

5th June 2022

Foodpanda (Myanmar), a subsidiary of Delivery Hero, entered Myanmar gid economy in 2019. At that time, Foodpanda (Myanmar) paid 1800 MMK per order (around US$1.2 per order). However, in 2021, when commodity prices increased and the MMK depreciated, during the time of political instability and the Covid pandemic, Foodpanda (Myanmar) decreased the order fee to 400MMK per order (US$0.22) without any consultation in advance with riders. We understood that the company had violated our human and labour rights, therefore we boycotted Foodpanda (Myanmar) on March 16th 2022, and protested with our seven demands.

Foodpanda (Myanmar) said they would send our issue to the Delivery Hero Headquarter, though there is no progress. Like the case of Myanmar Foodpanda riders, Delivery Hero Company is exploiting the labour of delivery riders all over the world. Regarding such exploitation of Delivery Hero company on a global scale, we, all riders from Delivery Hero company, from different countries, stand together with the strike and demands of Foodpanda riders from Myanmar.

The demands of Foodpanda rider Myanmar are as follow.

  1. To set the minimum delivery fee to 670 kyats ($ 0.36) per delivery and increase the fee depending on the distance of the delivery and the batch of riders.
  2. To restrain the strict rules of the computer system of the software that is controlling the delivery riders.
  3. To take responsibility for any accident or injury that happens during work hours. (Please be informed that we, the riders, will not accept the plan by the Foodpanda (Myanmar) after the recent negotiation to buy health and motor insurance with our own money by contracting with a third-party private insurance company.)
  4. To let riders take a full break day a week without taking any shifts as destined by the company if they wish to due to their personal matters.
  5. To use the Google Map system to determine both the travel distance of the order and to calculate the distance between the rider and the customer.
  6. To notify and inform the riders, concerning any changes made by Foodpanda (Myanmar), formally through the company’s official social media pages and Telegram channels at least a week in advance.
  7. To initiate a Hotline Phone number for riders to contact the company if they wish to resolve emerging issues or problems at any time.
  8. To issue a Foodpanda rider identification card for the delivery riders.

So far the following organizations endorse this statement:

  • Foodpanda riders all over Myanmar
  • Freedom Riders Union – Foodpanda (Thailand)
  • Free Workers’ Union (FAU) Hamburg
  • Gig Riders Alliance of the Philippines (GRAPh)
  • Hsinchu Delivery Union (Taiwan)
  • Hsinchu Delivery Industry Union (Taiwan)
  • International Confederation of Labor (ICL) Working Group Asia
  • Kagulong – Philippines
  • Riders’ Rights Concern Group (Hong Kong)
  • S.V.E.O.D. – Base Union Assembly for Bike and Motorbike riders (Greece)
  • Taichung Delivery Platform Service Union (Taiwan)
  • Taiwan – National Delivery Union
  • TEHIS – Tourism, Leisure and Service Workers’ Union (Turkey)

Also Kagulong and Gig Riders Alliance of the Philippines (GRAPh) released a statement together:

Solidarity with the strike of Myanmar Foodpanda riders!

We declare our support for the ongoing strike of Foodpanda delivery riders in Myanmar. We call on Foodpanda and its owner Delivery Hero to heed the 8-point demands of the delivery riders on strike.

The grievances of Foodpanda delivery riders arise from the capitalist greed of the app which is cutting its labor costs while increasing labor productivity in order to generate more profit. The pay cuts come on top of the opacity of the algorithm that unilaterally dictates on riders how to do their work and how to do it with ruthless efficiency in disregard of safety and health of workers.

These same grievances animated the protests of Foodpanda riders in the Philippines. In November 2020, hundreds of Foodpanda riders held a protest ride to the main office of the Labor Department against reduced pay and safety concerns. Then in July 2021, a separate group of hundreds of Foodpanda riders held a log-off protest in the southern part of the Philippines.

Only through unity and action can Foodpanda riders resolve these workplace grievances. And by solidarity across different countries where Foodpanda and Delivery Hero operate, we heighten our leverage and amplify our power.

Kagulong (Kapatiran sa Dalawang Gulong)
Gig Riders Alliance of the Philippines (GRAPh)

The strike continues! Regular updates on Delivery Hero Riders United on globalmayday.net.

Amazon despide a una delegada sindical de Inicjatywa Pracownicza. ¡Haz que Amazon lo pague!
El 9 de noviembre de 2021, Amazon Polonia entregó un aviso de despido a Magda Malinowska, que ha trabajado durante 6 años en su almacén de Sady, cerca de Poznan. Magda era representante sindical e inspectora de salud y seguridad elegida por los miembros del sindicato.  El despido fue aún más grave teniendo en cuenta que se llevó a cabo tras unas reclamaciones del sindicato que fueron presentadas por escrito.  Como inspectora de seguridad e higiene, Magda participó en la investigación de la muerte de uno de sus compañeros, que falleció en su puesto de trabajo en septiembre de 2021.

  • Attack on FAL’s Madrid office!
 
Authoritarians go against anarchist ideas!

Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) is a foundation established by CNT to preserve the rich history of the libertarian movement in Spain and to promote anarchist ideas and culture. It has a bookshop, a lecture hall and meeting rooms and a library in downtown Madrid. If you’ve ever been to town, you may have visited, as it’s a well-known reference in libertarian circles nationwide.

This office of FAL has been attacked. Last Monday, we discovered that someone’s authoritarian drive had been busy during the weekend.

Whoever it was, their efforts were focused on rendering the lock unusable and smashing the front glass. They used spray paint, glue and other materials and picks or hammers. This level of preparation shows a great deal of intent. We’d wish that they devoted similar efforts to achieve important goals, like social justice or class solidarity.

Let’s be clear, this is an attack on anarchist ideas carried out in a fascist-like manner. What would be the point, otherwise, in acting against bookshelves and a lecture hall?

Libertarian ideas, books and culture have been attacked. It is obvious that whoever carried this act out are not regulars at our events… if they were, they would have read, listened and debated and would not have allowed themselves to be manipulated into this wanton act.

Needless to say, we condemn this attack. Luckily, only material damage has been inflicted. The Fundacion is open again, though we still have some tidy-up to do.

As usual, as always, we forge ahead with positive, constructive action.

Fundacion Anselmo Lorenzo
  • ¡Atacada la sede de FAL en Madrid!

¡Agresión autoritaria contra la cultura anarquista!

La Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo (FAL) es una organización dependiente de CNT para la conservación de la rica historia del movimiento libertario y la divulgación del pensamiento, la cultura y las ideas anarquistas. Cuenta con una librería, salón de actos, salas de reuniones y biblioteca en el centro de Madrid. Es probable que la conozcas, si alguna vez has visitado la ciudad, porque es un referente en el panorama libertario peninsular.

Pues bien, esta sede de la Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo ha sido atacada. El pasado lunes nos encontramos con que el ánimo destructivo de alguien estuvo muy activo el fin de semana.

Volcaron sus esfuerzos en romper la cerradura y destruir el cristal de la fachada con pintura y picos, lo que demuestra que se habían preparado. Ojalá se preparasen igual para luchar por cosas importantes como la justicia social o la solidaridad.

Un ataque a la Cultura Libertaria con maneras que son propias de fascistas, pero que parecen proliferar. ¿Qué sentido puede tener atacar un lugar presidido por estanterías con libros y espacios de difusión, si no es así?

Un ataque a la Cultura, al mundo de los libros y del pensamiento libertario. Está claro que quienes han llevado el ataque no pueden ser personas ‘asiduas’ de la Fundación… habrían leído, escuchado y discutido, y no se dejarían manipular por esa violencia sin sentido.

Por supuesto, condenamos la acción y sus consecuencias, afortunadamente solo materiales. Y ya volvemos a estar en marcha, arreglándolo todo… ya sabéis, la obra siempre constructiva.

  • Comunicado de prensa del sindicato FAU: delegación de paz retenida en el hotel, acto prohibido

[14 de junio, 10 a.m., Erbil] Todos los integrantes de la delegación de paz al norte de Irak se encuentran detenidos hoy en su hotel para impedir la celebración de un acto y una rueda de prensa frente a la oficina de la misión de la ONU en Erbil, algo a lo que ayer se había comprometido un representante del gobierno de la región.

Aproximadamente 30 peshmergas, armados con fusiles de asalto, custodian a las 60 personas que integran la delegación. Ayer mismo, la delegación se reunió con el ministro de Exteriores del Gobierno de la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán Iraquí (PDK), quien empeñó su palabra en que se permitiría la realización del acto. De momento, parece que la detención no es estricta, pero se han prohibido todos los actos públicos. Otros delegados se encuentran custodiados en este momento.

Wolf Meyer, integrante del secretariado internacional de FAU: “estas actuaciones del gobierno del Kurdistán Iraquí son indignas de unas relaciones internacionales oficiales y recuerdan, no a una democracia, sino a la dictadura que se vive en Turquía. Se nos arresta, deporta y detiene con al apoyo y la complicidad del Gobierno alemán. Exigimos la puesta en libertad inmediata de todas las personas prisioneras, que se respete el derecho a manifestarse y que se honren los acuerdos y la palabra dada. Pedimos a todos los sindicatos de base que alcen su voz con determinación frente a la situación que se vive ahora mismo en Erbil”.

  • [June 14, 10 a.m., Erbil] The entire peace delegation in northern Iraq is being held in its hotel today to prevent a rally and press conference in front of the UN representation in Erbil, which was promised yesterday by a government representative.

About 30 Peshmerga with assault rifles are keeping the 60-strong peace delegation in northern Iraq in their hotel. Only yesterday, the delegation met with the foreign minister of the Autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan Region (PDK) who promised the rally could take place. Currently, the detention seems to be relaxed, but all demonstrations are still banned. Other delegates are currently in custody.

Wolf Meyer, member of the international committee of the FAU: “The current actions of the government of the Iraqi Kurdistan are unworthy of official international relations and are reminiscent not of a civil democracy but of a Turkish dictatorship. We are being arrested, deported, detained – with support and acquiescence of the German government. We demand all prisoners be released, the right to demonstrate and that joint agreements be respected. We ask all trade unions to find clear words for the current situation in Erbil.”

  • Delegation of the FAU in Northern Iraq

On the road against war and for internationalism in action!
The Free Workers Union is currently participating in a large international delegation in the Autonomous Region of Kurdistan (Northern Iraq). The reason for this is the ongoing human rights crimes, military actions and provocations on the part of the Turkish government and the Barzani regime¹, which is close to the Turkish government, as well as the worsening working and living conditions for the workers of the region.

As an internationalist labour union federation, we stand with the workers and peasants all over the world against the Turkish dictatorship, which is covering the whole region of the so-called Middle East with war, destruction of nature and political oppression.

Background

The Turkish regime under dictator Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues a policy of annexation and ethnic cleansing². The biggest counterweight against this racist war policy is the communalist movement³. This movement is organized in Turkey, Syria and Iraq and is mainly supported by Kurds, but also Yezidis, Arabs, Turkmens, Assyrians and members of many other communities as a multi-ethnic project.

In Iraq, Turkey is currently attempting to take control of the retreat areas of communalist organizations, as well as border areas with the communalist-administered region of northern and eastern Syria (also known as Rojava). Thus, it regularly carries out bombardments on Iraqi territory against alleged or actual revolutionaries. Furthermore, the Barzani clan and the Turkish state are expanding their military presence in these areas. In recent months, over 40 military bases have been established and thousands of soldiers have been deployed to the region.

With the current attacks and air strikes, Turkey is trying to provoke an intra-Kurdish war between communalists and the Barzani regime, which is economically dependent on Turkey. This tactic aims to weaken Kurdish resistance to Turkey, cut off supply routes to northeastern Syria, and legitimize a Turkish occupation of parts of Iraq.

  • Delegación de FAU en el norte de Irak

¡En marcha contra la guerra y por el internacionalismo en acción!

FAU (Sindicato de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Libres) participa actualmente en una gran delegación internacional a la Región Autónoma del Kurdistán (Norte de Irak). El motivo de esta es oponerse a las incesantes violaciones de los derechos humanos, las ofensivas militares y las provocaciones por parte del gobierno turco y del régimen de Barzani¹, muy próximo a aquel, así como al deterioro de las condiciones laborales y vitales de las personas trabajadoras en la región.

Como federación sindical internacionalista que es FAU, estaremos siempre junto a trabajadores y trabajadoras, campesinos y campesinas de todo el mundo, contra la dictadura turca, que siembra la guerra, la destrucción del medio ambiente y la opresión política en todo el ámbito de la región denominada Oriente Medio.

Antecedentes

El régimen turco del dictador Recep Tayyip Erdoğan lleva a cabo una política de anexión y limpieza étnica². El mayor obstáculo frente a esta expansión de la guerra racista es el movimiento del confederalismo democrático³. Este se encuentra organizado en Turquía, Siria e Irak y recibe el apoyo, principalmente, de la población kurda, pero también yazidí, árabe, turcomana, asiria y de integrantes de muchas otras comunidades, porque se trata de un proyecto multiétnico.

En Irak, el gobierno turco pretende actualmente hacerse con el control de las zonas en que se refugian las organizaciones del confederalismo democrático, así como de las regiones fronterizas con la parte del norte y el este de Siria en las que está implantado este proyecto (también conocida como Rojava). Por este motivo, bombardea de manera regular el territorio iraquí, para atacar a revolucionarios imaginados o reales. Además, el clan Barzani y el estado turco están ampliando su presencia militar en estas zonas. En los últimos meses, han establecido más de 40 bases militares y han desplegado miles de soldados en la región.
