Now Menulog is commencing a Sydney CBD employment trial, in an Australian-first. The trial has seen riders employed directly by Menulog, marking an important milestone in achieving minimum rights and protections in the food delivery industry.
We still have a long way to go in the fight to improve pay and conditions for workers employed by the biggest platforms like Uber. However, building on our successes in the Hungry Panda and Deliveroo fights, this Menulog trial shows the TWU and riders are slowly turning the gig economy tide in favour of workers.
