Nearly 50 UK lawmakers demanded Amazon-backed unicorn Deliveroo provide PPE and sick pay for its food delivery riders
Deliveroo did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment."We, the undersigned MPs, are writing to express extreme concern regarding the way Deliveroo riders are being treated during the COVID-19 crisis, and to add our voices to the following concerns as articulated by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain :
"Food couriers like Deliveroo riders already provide an important service in supplying meals to those who are less mobile. In the coming months, as key workers, they will play an essential role in catering both to the vast majority of society who are self-isolating, and also to other key workers such as NHS staff. It is only reasonable to expect that they are compensated for providing such a vital service, especially given the high risk conditions in which they operate.
