The survey also found that more than 60% had experienced racial or ethnic abuse and 55% had suffered physical abuseEIGHT out of 10 food delivery couriers in Scotland feel “unsafe” at work but carry on out of financial necessity, a study has found.
The two-year study also found that all of the 33 women surveyed said they had experienced sexual harassment or abuse while at work.Dr Pedro Mendonca, who led the study, said: “Our findings shed light on the reality food delivery couriers have to confront on a daily basis. The report includes first-hand accounts from couriers, with one quoted as saying: “I’m constantly being threatened by people, not only customers but on the road. It’s like they see a guy with a delivery bag and they constantly give me grief.”
“To read that all women surveyed had experienced sexual harassment or abuse, with 81% of couriers overall feeling fundamentally unsafe in their work, is inexcusable and requires urgent action from government.
