  • We must act now to expel edu-businesses from our schools to once again make classrooms safe places to teach and learn, putting students and public education before profit.

'I’m always delivering food while hungry': how undocumented migrants find work as substitute couriers in the UK

This was where many food couriers waited for orders to “drop” into their mobile phones.

Key Points: 
  • This was where many food couriers waited for orders to “drop” into their mobile phones.
  • The 42-year-old husband and father of one was a recently arrived migrant but not qualified to work in the UK.
  • Luca spoke little English, rented a room with three other people, and earned some money by informally renting food delivery accounts from other couriers as a “substitute” rider.
  • Our research into food couriers in one English city highlights the daily challenges facing undocumented migrant workers in this sector.
  • During 2021 and 2022, we got to know seven undocumented migrants who worked as food delivery riders by renting accounts from other riders.

‘A choice between eating or getting documents’

    • He had arrived with a tourist visa nearly a year earlier, helped by an “agency” back in his home country.
    • It’s a choice between eating or getting the [legal] documents.
    • It’s a choice between eating or getting the [legal] documents.
    • On average, our undocumented interviewees earned between £900 and £1,500 a month, after deducting their account and gear rental costs.
    • The way I see it is, on weekdays I work to pay off my debts from back home, plus the bike and account rental.

‘Easy to cut through the red tape’

    • Riders who deliver for online food platforms are self-employed, with flexibility a key selling-point for these “gig economy” jobs.
    • This includes the ability to ask a substitute to deliver on the rider’s behalf if he or she is unavailable.
    • I know that some [account holders] run real businesses here by renting multiple accounts, gear, the lot … This means that the demand [for accounts] is there … but it also tells you how easy it is to cut through the red tape.
    • The online food platforms all have strict regulations regarding who is allowed to work as a delivery courier.
    • When approached for comment about the issues raised in this article, both companies stressed that this policy is strictly enforced at all times.
    • Any courier that fails to meet these criteria will have their access to the app removed.

    • First-hand accounts of the trauma of being stuck in the UK asylum system

      But this option is not available to undocumented riders.

    • Accidents can make them “visible”, jeopardising both their immediate ability to work and any future prospect of securing legitimate right-to-work status.
    • We also saw numerous social media posts and chat rooms in which documented food couriers threatened to expose undocumented couriers.
    • A spokesperson for Deliveroo stressed that all forms of harassment or discriminatory behaviour are completely unacceptable, and that specific harassment claims are immediately investigated.

Informal work across the UK

    • But studies show there has been a recent increase in informal work and employment practices in many UK sectors.
    • We know from our wider research that undocumented workers are a growing presence in a number of UK sectors.
    • In contrast, online food platform companies such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats abide by all UK laws and regulations.
    • We believe stronger oversight on the part of the UK authorities is needed, if informal working in the food delivery sector is not to grow further and put more vulnerable people at risk.
