New motion on couriers’ strikes, Feb-Mar 2022

As new towns (Chesterfield, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Dewsbury and now some in the south) join the strike, we need a new drive on fundraising!

This branch

• Notes:

1. The strike by Stuart couriers, who perform deliveries for JustEat
2. That Stuart, a subsidiary of the French postal service, has cut couriers’ base rate of pay by 24%
3. The 1,000% pay rise awarded to one of their top executives last year, taking his annual pay to £2m
4. That this strike is historic, being at 50 days the longest and biggest strike ever in the U.K. gig economy

• Resolves:

1. To advertise our support for the Stuart couriers’ pay dispute and their demand for a £6 base rate of pay
2. To make a donation of £1,000 to their strike fund (details below)
3. To encourage our members to make individual donations to this fund and to attend local picket lines
