Since December, Parirs Dixon has been organising fellow couriers to picket popular takeaways in Sheffield in an effort to improve pay. Now the industrial action is spreading to other cities
“Don’t do it, brother!” shouts Parirs Dixon as a Just Eat delivery driver approaches a branch of Greggs in Sheffield city centre with his bag open, ready to fill with pastries. “Did you not know about the strike?”
The driver looks confused. Dixon, who is chomping a slice of pizza in the bakery doorway, dispatches an Arabic speaker from the picket line to explain why the driver shouldn’t collect his order.
