Amsterdam: Obdachlos nach Radunfall - Radical Riders bitten um Spenden! [DE | EN]
Thuisbezorgd ist das niederländische Pendant zu Lieferando. Auch in den Niederlanden macht dieser Lieferdienst durch gefährliche Arbeitsbedingungen von sich reden - und hilft in diesem Fall leider auch dem Leidtragenden nicht. Daher gibt es eine Spendensammlung der Radical Riders.
Aufgrund eines Defekt des von Thuisbezorgd gestellten Fahrrades verletzte sich ein Rider das Knie schwer und kann auf absehbare Zeit nicht mehr fahren. Er lebte in einem Hostel, auf der Suche nach einer Wohnung. Nun kann er sich das Hostel nicht mehr leisten, denn das Krankengeld reicht dafür nicht.
Doch die Forderungen der Radical Riders gehen wesentlich weiter als dass dieser die Verantwortung für die Arbeitssicherheit und die Folgen des Unfalls übernimmt - um sie zu Gehör zu bringen, gibt es zudem eine Online-Petition.

Homeless After an Accident at Thuisbezorgd – His Story and a Call for Solidarity!
A fellow rider at Thuisbezorgd has become homeless after an accident, and Thuisbezorgd is not helping him!
The rider, who does not want to be named out of fear of getting fired and losing the little sick pay he is receiving, has gotten in an accident after the seat of the bicycle provided to him by Thuisbezorgd broke off. His knee got badly injured, and he is now unable to work and will have to undergo surgery.
Instead of his normal wage, which was around €450 per week before his accident, he now only receives €280 per week. He was living in a hostel in Amsterdam and searching for an apartment, but is now unable to pay for a roof over his head at all. As a result, he was staying in bars and coffee shops every night until they closed, and was then on his own in the streets of Amsterdam. His leg is getting worse and worse as he has to walk large distances to get around, and he is worried about his health and his future every single day.
Only because of friends and union support he has somewhere to sleep while this article is being written, but he will end up on the streets soon again unless he urgently receives help. We are in touch with the FNV, the media and civil society to build a support network.
The rider informed Thuisbezorgd about this situation weeks ago, and they have been acting extremely slow. We have gotten in touch with Thuisbezorgd as well to see if there is any way to solve this dire situation, and we were told that it was his fault for becoming homeless after being sick for a short period.
This is not acceptable, as this fellow rider is homeless with a broken leg right now!
