Dozens of delivery workers, who protested during lunch and dinner hours on Saturday in Tsuen Wan, stated in an open letter that the Meituan-owned platform had reduced their pay per delivered order.
“Since May, your platform [has kept] on decreasing the order fee. It is not me, we all Tsuen Wan riders are receiving the orders fee less than HK$38 [US$4] per single order and less than HK$55 per double order in non-peak hours,” they wrote in the letter.
“The peak hour order fee we [are] receiving is less than HK$45 per single order and less than HK$65 per double order and including no SUBSIDY provided in the Tsuen Wan area.
“We as all Tsuen Wan motorcycle riders, cyclists and walkers today hold a strike against your unfair decreasing fee and all the sudden change of providing no SUBSIDY in peak hours.”
