[Takeaway delivery drivers are planning
to strike on Valentine's Day to demand
better pay and improved working conditions.
The action, impacting four food apps
including Deliveroo and Uber Eats,
is thought to involve as many as 3,000 drivers
and riders on Wednesday between
17:00 and 22:00 GMT.
One cyclist taking part told the BBC their
pay was "absolutely ridiculous".
Deliveroo said its rider retention rate
was "high" and it reviewed pay yearly.
The action, organised by a grassroots group
of couriers is intended to draw attention
to what has been described as poor pay
and working conditions many
riders face while delivering food
and groceries in cities across the UK.]
