As our poster says
it's because its too cold to ride.
Since Sunday the temperatures
have been at least minus 10.
And the streets are
full of snow and full of ice
and it's extremely dangerous
to continue deliveries right now.
So we are demanding
the support of
Wolt and Lieferando.
To answer the demands of workers
who say it is not safe to work right now
and to stop the deliveries
until it's safe again.
And yes, that's basically what we are demanding.
We get an email every day
we care for your health.
Which is a total lie.
It makes me angry getting this email everyday
and then having to hop on my bike
without any gear that protects me
from slippery roads and stuff.
And ye, they don't seem to care.
On Monday I took a shift
for two hours in the snow.
And after that I got so angry
because I also thought of other people
that have 10 hour shifts.
It's so dangerous to ride at the moment
with the snow.
So now we are a large group of people.
And we were talking about the insecurity
of being on the street.
And this is how we organise.
The other things are,
most of the people
we deliver the food to
don't wear masks.
I recently had it where
I was standing in front of a guy.
I put the food on the ground
and he came over and was like
oh be careful I'm in quarantine.
And I was like, are you kidding me?
Last week a driver,
I think it was UberEats,
no it was a Deliveroo rider,
died in Madrid
in a car accident.
It happened also
a couple of months ago in Frankfurt.
So this is also to raise awareness
about the fact that
it's not just about being cold.
No it's really dangerous to work in these conditions,
and we risk our lives on the road.
