UberEats drivers plan protest against cuts in pay rate per delivery

Riders for group's food delivery service follow Deliveroo couriers in expressing discontent with gig economy pay structure

Drivers for Uber's food delivery service are planning a protest in the latest sign of discontent within the gig economy.

UberEats riders will demonstrate outside the group's London headquarters on Friday after the company cut the amount it pays per delivery, which some drivers say leaves them at risk of earning less than the minimum wage. They are calling on the company to pay the independently backed London living wage of 9.40 an hour.
