While delivery platforms are booming, migrant workers go on strike

Delivery workers around the world have had enough. In Lebanon, they have started to organize themselves and went on strike against the local delivery app Toters. Their exploitation is systematic and builds on the Kafala system. These conditions have rendered delivery workers one of the most exploited groups of the precarious working class in Lebanon but have also opened up opportunities for organizing. Even if banned for now, mutual aid networks on Social Media and continuing strike actions gave a glimpse into their growing resistance.
