    The short version is; These delivery companies created a modern slavery situation which simultaneously creates road safety and personnel safety issues. Simple solution, ban deliveroo, just eat and ubereats outright. Delivery drivers should be employees of takeway companies. Then minimum wages can be enforced and traceability and transparency for all rights and safeguards can be seen. Bonus is, you’re not going to get hit by an unlicensed e-moto in a city centre by some shattered forgotten body who may or may not be entitled to work.

      Question: why would ban delivery apps instead of forcing them to hire drivers and give them benefits?

        They created a toxic work environment, and I’d just legislate them out of existence.
