GENERAL SANTOS CITY – Delivery riders here from various platforms and companies have banded together to stop what they call widespread exploitation and abuse by their supposed employers who consider them freelance workers instead of employees.
RIDERS is being organized first in this city, where there exist a growing problem of “slave-like working conditions of delivery riders by their employers,” said Herbert Demos, Soccsksargen coordinator of Sentro ng mga Nagkakaisa at Progresibong Manggagawa . As such, Demos said there is a felt need to organize the riders into a union with the pressing issues they are facing. “They are even made to pay for cancelled orders or those made by scammers,” he said.
Demos said they expect more riders to join the union, confronted with the realities they are in. Membership is open to delivery personnel of other platforms or companies, he said.
