As long as the demand from customer is there, someone will operate that service. UberEats alone is easily replaceable.
The title is somewhat misleading:
For now, Mlilo and Dlodlo, are consulting with a slew of workers’ unions as they explore unionization.
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
