Food Delivery
We’ve applied for decent minimum standards in food delivery which will lift pay and conditions for workers.
The Transport Workers’ Union is the largest collective organisation for transport workers across road transport, delivery and aviation. We represent thousands of app-based gig workers in the rideshare, food delivery and parcel delivery sectors. We unite gig workers across Australia to fight for fair pay, safety and work rights.
TWU gig members have been fighting to reform Australia’s transport industry. In 2024, our relentless fight culminated in a historic victory, securing world-leading rights for gig workers under the transport reform.
These rights are a powerful tool that TWU gig members have begun using to end long-running exploitation, improve pay and conditions, and ensure gig workers have work rights, much like employees at a workplace.
