At 4 o'clock today, on the eve of the negotiation between employers and employees, about 50 Foodpanda couriers were in solidarity near the head office in Sheung Wan.

There were four police cars stationed near the scene, and the police officers continued to remind those present to observe the gathering restriction order, with a maximum of 4 people, otherwise they could be charged with a ticket.

Half of the road outside Foodpanda's head office was enclosed by the police, and the iron gate was pulled down at the main entrance, leaving only one doorway for entry and exit. There were also many security guards at the scene.

At 4:25 in the afternoon, the police held a blue flag high at the scene to warn nearby citizens to disperse as soon as possible, saying that gathering there was an illegal assembly.

The number of people gathered at the scene then decreased, and a total of 8 labor representatives were also present. Among them, Waqas Fida and Mr. Zheng stated that they were angry at the company’s response on Sunday (14th). The argument is unreasonable.

They explained that the rush hour bonuses were only available on Saturdays and Sundays, which were in vain. They did not solve the problem and calm the anger of the deliveryman.

They described the negotiation as mainly conveying the demands of the courier, and they frankly worried that the company will settle accounts after the fall. However, the current situation is too excessive, the company system and various problems caused by the low wages make it difficult for the courier to survive. .

Some representatives threatened that if the negotiations broke down, the next industrial action would be carried out, such as strikes on Saturdays and Sundays or on any busy day.

After that, 8 representatives entered the head office to negotiate with the capital.

The police officers continued to patrol the vicinity and asked passers-by for their identities.
