Just Eat is expanding its hub in Brighton and Hove over the coming months, as part of its new UK worker model for couriers.
They've found a niche and exploited it for all it's worth.
They got the predictable backlash from the progressives, outraged that people might have to work for a living in ways they don't approve of, of course.
All couriers contracted through the new model will be entitled to hourly pay and be paid the minimum or living wage, as well as pension contributions and certain statutory benefits, including holiday pay and sick pay.
There will be a mix of full-time, part-time and zero hour jobs, and workers will be provided with clothing and equipment to use for deliveries.
Just Eat said there will also be an option to operate from a central hub, where couriers can take breaks.
Will they be happy now? Probably not!
Brighton is the fourth city in the UK to be offered the new model by Just Eat, following its launch in London, Birmingham and Liverpool. The move has already created almost 3,000 jobs and will continue to be rolled out to further cities.
I gues it doesn't matter, they plan to expand anyway. People want what they offer, and it seems enough people want to earn a wage providing that. What's not to like?
