Rates paid by CitySprint to their couriers haven't increased in 15 years. After years of exploitation, bad treatment and terrible conditions, cycle couriers from across the capital are unionising and fighting for a living wage. Couriers get paid per job, not per hour, so are fighting for an increase in the rates they are paid per job, in order to gain the equivalent of the London Living Wage.

The rising cost of living has made a pay rise a matter of necessity. Couriers deserve to live, not just survive. Couriers deserve the London Living Wage (plus reasonable expenses), especially since they cover their own costs, while not receiving sick pay, paid holiday, maternity/paternity leave or pensions, doing one of London's most dangerous jobs.
