Uber Eats deliverers request distribution of masks from operating company April 10 17:36
Delivery agents of the delivery service "Uber Eats" have asked the operating company for measures to prevent transmission of the new coronavirus, such as distributing masks.
What we asked for was a group called "UberEats Union", which was made up of the members of "UberEats", a delivery service that allows the general public to deliver dishes from the restaurant to customers.
According to the group, although `` placement '', where the customer places the product at a designated place instead of giving it directly to the customer to prevent infection, was introduced, measures to prevent infection, such as when the customer settles in cash or receives food at the store, are delivered. It is a member's own responsibility.
For this reason, the organization asked the operating company to take measures such as distributing masks and disinfectants.
Regarding the position of the delivery staff, the operating company says `` It is a sole proprietor and does not correspond to a worker '', but the group side is `` It is a worker '' and it is done to protect workers at other shipping companies. That the same measures should be taken.
"I want to get a firm answer from the company," said Kento Suzuki, vice-president of UberEats Union, a delivery member.
