Absolutely true,
When I see people slaving away on a bicycle in any kind of weather, delivering groceries or boxes of food, I feel pity. I know they earn very little, have very few benefits, and literally zero chance of moving up. It's a dead end job.
It's modern poverty. It's the tiny house equivalent of a job.
- vianneychevalie 5y agoI used to bike for Deliveroo in France, as a delivery driver. Nowadays people pay refugees and illegal immigrants 100€ a week for them to deliver in their name. I've personally met those refugees, I've personally heard their slavers boasting about it. I'd estimate their proportion in Paris around 30% of all Deliveroo drivers. In smaller cities it's not as common. These slavers will open accounts in the name of their whole family, and they keep 75% of what those poor guys will make.
