There is no reason not to have a per delivery pay, while having the protection of a basic minimum wage, and if Deliveroo changed to Worker status they would be silly to not incentivise riders to continue to work as hard as possible.
The courier company i work for currently gives me a guarantee which equates to minimum wage, but I obviously work as hard as possible to make more than that, it's a system that does work in practice.

All jobs at the bottom are shit. I am WAYWAYWAYWAYWAY more concerned with non-englishspeaking cleaners being bussed around and truly exploited by 'agencies'. There are genuine employment crimes commonplace but they don't get have pull on gofundme, crowdjustice etc.
Most of the people at least in london 'working' for deliveroo are immigrants with not many employment options.
The IWGB also fights for cleaners, security guards, foster carers and private hire driver.

In my opinion a business which couldn't survive following their legal protections for worker rights shouldn't survive. We wouldn't accept this in any other industry, and delivery should be the same. Making sure people get minimum wage isn't so much to ask is it?
While you luckily have the ability to walk away if you decide the terms aren't to your liking, many unfortunately don't.Ha, factual is probably wrong word when it comes to legal concerns, I'll take that back. Everything explain worker status seems like a tick list for deliveroo riders, but I could be biased.
You are currently classed as a self-employed contractor with no rights, the original tribunal was lost after deliveroo changed contracts to allow riders to substitute another rider to do your delivery for you (are you told this, is it possible in practice? genuinely interested)

@miro_o I've worked for multiple food delivery and other courier companies (including one food app which decided when it didn't get extra funding to file bankruptcy leaving me and many people i know with hundreds/thousands of un-payed wages) so I definitely understand the situation.
I understand why for for some/many the flexibility of deliveoo is the something they cherish and are worried that'll they'll lose it with IWGB taking workers rights to tribunal.
The IWGB is not trying to take this away from you, they're fighting for Worker status, not full employment. This is factually what deliveroo riders are, no matter what you prefer.
https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/workerWorker status means you'll be entitled to minimum wage and accrued holiday pay while you're signed in and protection from discrimination /the ability for collective bargain. It's not forcing you to become fully employed and have set hours.
While these may not matter to you, this will make a huge difference to those who are the poorest workers. -
Unlike it seems everyone else on this thread, I'm totally happy with my Hunka. Unless I've had the hole closed down completely i've never had issues with condensation.

You don'd need 11 speed or fancy disc brakes. some second hand 9 speed and bb7s will be absolutely fine if you're on a budget.

I'm a fan of touring on the gangsta

I'm just more cautious/paranoid as i'll usually be heading through major cities when i tour. I carried a krytonite d lock across america for some reason.

But you'll probably want one for supermarket shopping in towns

I have too much inbuilt insulation for that to be the case unfortunately.
Anyway, you're all wusses. Now i use one of these cut down to fit my upper body https://www.decathlon.co.uk/m100-foam-camping-sleeping-mat-id_5591048.html

It's pack size the reason i got one, so i could fit everything into a saddlebag. As a back sleeper i really liked it, but unfortunately it seems to puncture very easily.

Is it possible to partition my living room into an extra bedroom in line with building regs?
https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/33/internal_walls/3Was thinking to cut in half with new bedroom having both window and balcony door with living room portion having no window but getting natural light/ventilation via kitchen and hallway.
On second floor so probably above 4.5m but assuming balcony which connects both sides to neighbours counts as fire escape route.

^ i use one like that. has been fine at the bottom of a work bag squashed by packages.

think that's bad? look how much they charge for organised fun in america http://ramblerides.com/product/steamboat-ramble/

No, if you asking as of 2020.
If you have 200 quid rent (profit), at 40% tax you pay 80 leaving you 120
Then you pay 100 in mortgage (interest no longer tax deductible), leaving you £20
