The UK government has engaged with major food delivery platforms like Deliveroo, Uber Eats, and Just Eat to implement stricter verification processes for their drivers. This initiative follows reports indicating a rise in account sub-letting, potentially enabling undocumented workers to operate within the system. The goal is to enhance accountability and ensure compliance with labor laws, addressing concerns about the legality and safety of the delivery workforce. More robust checks are expected to be rolled out in the coming weeks.
