Fired by AI? Just Eat UK couriers ‘deactivated for minor overpayments’

Exclusive: Takeaway drivers claim they were instantly removed from company’s platform with little explanation

Takeaway couriers across the UK have been thrown off the Just Eat app for alleged overpayments as small as £1.35, which many contest, according to a new report by campaign group Worker Info Exchange.

Just Eat drivers, who in many cases are low-income migrant workers, described being instantly removed from the company’s platform – a significant hit to their livelihoods – with little explanation.
