  • Chinese text « bhi, bhi-" Last January, when former foodpanda Pakistani driver Ali collided with a car on Tsing Tin Road in Tuen Mun, the Roadrunner app used by the delivery man was beeping in his Bluetooth headset, urging him to deliver his food faster. He was running late - his mind went blank as he anxiously thought, "I'm so annoyed," and he didn't notice the car next to him suddenly speeding, and the car on the side of the road skidded, hitting him and then ignoring him. He flew out and lost consciousness immediately. About five minutes later, a private car driver called the police and he was taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with a fractured finger and wrist, requiring six months of recuperation, and foodpanda did not follow up on the case. The service fee for a take-out order is only $55. According to police statistics, in the first half of the year, 24 people were seriously injured and 164 people were slightly injured in motorcycle accidents related to delivery, accounting for 2.3% of the total number of traffic accidents and an average of more than 30 cases per month.

  • Translation: Waqas Interview on Standnews Chinese text When I opened the door of the Pakistani restaurant, I was greeted by the smell of roasted chicken and the strong smell of milk tea, the familiar "taste of home" of Waqas Fida. Waqas says he has gotten to know most of the people in the restaurant as he comes to eat with his friends whenever he can. Waqas said that many of his fellow countrymen who work as delivery workers remembered his name after the foodpanda strike two weeks ago. The foodpanda strike, from the start of the strike to the consensus reached between employers and employees, took place in just six days. This is a rare success in a social movement downturn. In the post-union era without a big union, the birth of this labor movement begins with this Pakistani man. He was born in Pakistan, moved to Oman at the age of 16 to work as a manager in the Middle East, and came to Hong Kong to start a different life for a marriage, and ended up in a labor movement. Wandering: Left home at 16 to work in Oman I remember the first time I met Waqas was under the pandamart building in North Point. At noon that day, only two or three delivery workers gathered. Later, Waqas and other South Asian riders pushed their motorcycles in from another street. The delivery man who was chatting with the reporter pointed to the street and whispered, "That's 'Big Brother'".
