With strikes always being planned, the IWGB Couriers and Logistics Branch have voted to set up a Strike Hardship Fund and support our members that can least afford to take action.
The courier industry is notorious for companies denying basic rights such as holiday pay and a guaranteed minimum wage through misclassifying workers as 'independent contractors'.
Many of our members are on low, insecure pay. The financial burden of taking time off work can sometimes prevent someone from being able to go on strike. By giving people the opportunity to apply to our Strike Hardship Fund we hope to stop this from happening.
We are a grassroots, member-led union, currently punching well above our weight by taking on rogue courier firms, multi-million pound companies, and tech giants like Deliveroo. Your donation will allow our most financially insecure members to take part in our actions and exercise their right to peaceful protest.
Please donate now & help us win!
