xiāng gǎng香港wài mài yuán外卖员bà gōng罢工kàng yì抗议píng tái平台yā zhà压榨
Recently, many delivery workers in Hong Kong went on strike on the Keeta platform.
They feel that the platform uses computer algorithms to assign work, which reduces the money they earn.
Before, they could earn more money for each delivery, but now the pay per order has decreased, and sometimes they have to deliver several orders at once, making the work harder.
Some delivery workers say that if they don't join the platform's new plan, it is hard to get orders.
Some people have had traffic accidents while delivering because they have to keep looking at their phones to grab orders.
The delivery workers hope the platform will raise wages, remove the order-grabbing feature, and sign formal work contracts with them.
The Hong Kong government says it will find ways to protect the rights of delivery workers.
Now, Keeta has also started delivery services in other countries, and it is unknown if delivery workers there will face the same problems.
