Hong Kong Delivery Workers Strike to Protest Platform Exploitation
zuì jìn最近 ,xiāng gǎng香港hěn很duō多wài mài yuán外卖员zài在 Keetapíng tái平台shàng上bà gōng罢工 。
Recently, many delivery workers in Hong Kong went on strike on the Keeta platform.
tā men他们jué de觉得píng tái平台yòng用diàn nǎo电脑suàn fǎ算法lái来ān pái安排gōng zuò工作 ,ràng让tā men他们zhuàn赚de的qián钱biàn变shǎo少le了 。
They feel that the platform uses computer algorithms to assign work, which reduces the money they earn.
yǐ qián以前sòng送yī一dān单kě yǐ可以ná dào拿到gèng更duō多de的qián钱 ,xiàn zài现在měi每dān单de的qián钱biàn变shǎo少le了 ,ér qiě而且yǒu shí hòu有时候yào要tóng shí同时sòng送hǎo jǐ好几dān单 ,gōng zuò工作biàn dé变得gèng更xīn kǔ辛苦 。
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.
yǒu有de的wài mài yuán外卖员shuō说 ,rú guǒ如果bù不cān jiā参加píng tái平台de的xīn新jì huà计划 ,jiù就hěn很nán难qiǎng抢dào到dìng dān订单 。
Some delivery workers say that if they don't join the platform's new plan, it is hard to get orders.
hái yǒu还有rén人yīn wèi因为yào要yì zhí一直kàn看shǒu jī手机qiǎng dān抢单 ,zài在sòng cān送餐shí时fā shēng发生le了jiāo tōng交通shì gù事故 。
Some people have had traffic accidents while delivering because they have to keep looking at their phones to grab orders.
wài mài yuán外卖员men们xī wàng希望píng tái平台néng能tí gāo提高gōng zī工资 ,qǔ xiāo取消ràng让tā men他们qiǎng抢dān单de的gōng néng功能 ,hái还yào要hé和tā men他们qiān签zhèng shì正式de的gōng zuò工作hé tóng合同 。
The delivery workers hope the platform will raise wages, remove the order-grabbing feature, and sign formal work contracts with them.
xiāng gǎng香港zhèng fǔ政府shuō说huì会xiǎng想bàn fǎ办法bǎo hù保护wài mài yuán外卖员de的quán yì权益 。
The Hong Kong government says it will find ways to protect the rights of delivery workers.
xiàn zài现在 , Keetayě也kāi shǐ开始zài在qí tā其他guó jiā国家zuò做wài mài外卖fú wù服务 ,bù不zhī dào知道nà lǐ那里de的wài mài yuán外卖员huì bú huì会不会yù dào遇到tóng yàng同样de的wèn tí问题 。
Now, Keeta has also started delivery services in other countries, and it is unknown if delivery workers there will face the same problems.
