Delivery Riders
The takeaway food industry is predicted to reach $3.5 billion in the next five years. Food delivery
riders are paid below minimum wage, they have no superannuation, no sick pay, no annual leave, no
insurance and no right to challenge being sacked. Unions NSW has partnered with the Transport
Workers Union and food delivery riders to fight for
their rights and they are committed to ensuring that
no worker in this country earns below minimum wage and has access to basic work entitlements.
They are also pursuing a legislative agenda which seeks to extend basic work entitlements to riders. They have made some progress with the NSW
State Government in securing such commitments. Nevertheless, much work remains to be done.
