The Yandex.Food couriers in Kemerovo have been on strike since December 25 against the employer's policy regarding wages on holidays, the system of fines and delivery times. Courier union calls on other delivery staff to join the boycott. The organization apologizes to clients and asks for support for its claims.
Couriers emphasize that Yandex ignores their requests and complaints. The logistics partner of the IT-company LLC "Leader Consult Personnel" acts in the same way.
Delivery employees note that they are fined 1.5 thousand rubles. for being ten minutes late and adding one unpaid shift. The couriers are outraged by the intention to introduce a 2/2 schedule from January, which will lead to a decrease in their earnings. They say that the Yandex.Food app sets unrealizable delivery times because it doesn't take into account the complexity of the route.
One of the requirements of couriers is the introduction from December 20 to January 10 of a holiday tariff equal to 170 rubles. at one o'clock. They intend to obtain a bump in payment for the order, depending on the quality and time of its assembly. The delivery staff said that the holiday rate currently only covers the period from Dec 31 to Jan 3.
Yandex says the suppliers' claims are unfounded. The press service says it is not going to introduce a system of fines and a new schedule, noting that couriers in Kemerovo earn more than in the region.
Today the company announced the regular operation of the service. Since the launch of Yandex.Food in the region, courier income has grown by 30%, Yandex said. Now their average earnings per month is 26 thousand rubles.
In an interview with the Dozhd TV channel, the strike participant said that the action had been planned two months ago. He said that employees who were outraged by the working conditions were fired without explanation. The strike will last until the management enters into negotiations with the couriers.
In a discussion on the Pikabu website, users report that couriers are blocking points in Kemerovo. The discussion was overwhelmingly supportive of the delivery staff. According to users, such actions will lead to the conditions required by couriers.
Over the past week, Yandex.Taxi drivers have been on strike in Volgograd and Tomsk. Changes in working conditions and low income were the reason for the discontent of the taxi drivers.
