Deliveroo worker in Bow Street, Dublin last week
Not all heroes wear scrubs.

It only took a pandemic to reveal some of the most critical and important roles in our society.
When the dust eventually settles on Covid-19, it will be important to have a record, and to remind those eager to revert to “normality” how vital a cog these frontline workers are to our society. Those who:
Clean up after us,
Deliver our post and goods,
Operate our public transport,
Produce our food,
Dispose of our waste,
Keep the supermarkets stocked and open.
We are putting together a short documentary on the disproportionate burden frontline workers are carrying during this time.
The documentary will feature voice-over artists reading segments of transcribed interviews that we have with fronting workers.
If you work on the frontline during these times, we would love to chat to you [at link below].
Anyone?
I was talking to a driver for the local chipper and said that he has never been so busy but getting very few tips because either online orders or people requesting food to be left on doorstep.
Is he not being paid enough?
Excellent video idea. I did slip my postperson a few quid in a plastic bag. Deserved – checking in on old folks and collecting their mail as well as delivering.
Deliveroo and Just East crews deserve better recognition. Cycling around dropping off food unthanked and unrecognized. Just wait until it rains to rub it in.
if we don’t show up for work we don’t get paid which means we can’t pay bills it has nothing to do with being a hero .its called lack of choice.i hope your doc will look also look into that
I hope they address that too. Mind yourself out there.
well said Daisy, we need to look at so called minimum pay
I think these guys are probably the main remaining source of community transmission
