IWGB couriers protest Ocado over poverty pay and poor treatment
IWGB members outside Ocado's Acton depot
OCADO couriers protested today, accusing bosses of paying poverty wages and poor treatment, despite all their hard work during the pandemic delivering food to millions of people.
The protest outside Ocado Zoom in Acton was organised by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) and supported by Black Lives Matter, Ealing council and Labour MPs including Apsana Begum, Bell Ribeiro-Addy and Barry Gardiner.
Workers said that their pay was cut by up to 50 per cent when Ocado transferred their work to the Ryde app.
