A group of Foodpanda couriers on Sunday continued their strike for a second day over a pay dispute arising from a new map system on the online delivery platform.
Dozens of delivery workers protested in Kowloon Bay on Saturday evening demanding fair treatment.
On Sunday, about 20 deliverymen were seen outside the Tsing Yi MTR station, holding placards that said “Fair Pay” and “Say No to Slavery”.
Foodpanda last month launched the new system which links a courier's service fee to delivery distance.
The striking couriers said the company has failed to calculate their wages in a transparent way since the system was introduced.
One of them said he used to earn around HK$70 from orders with delivery routes of four to five kilometres, but now he’s earning 30 percent less for similar routes under the new system.
A Foodpanda spokesperson had earlier said the overall service fees were never reduced.
The company conceded there were issues with the new system, and that it would compensate workers who were affected.
