Tomorrow’s Headline: UberEats Ceases All Operations In South Africa Indefinitely

Them getting a union could go either way. On the one hand I feel it would be good for them to have a support structure that ensures fair pay and working conditions. On the other hand they could also go the way of the taxi unions and basically turn into a gang.

Theres already a running joke that delivery drivers constitute the biggest biker gang in ZA
