Foodpanda delivery riders in Hong Kong struck from 13 November 2021, refusing to accept orders and gathering outside the company's offices, over cuts to the minimum base fee per delivery, long waiting times at restaurants that were unpaid, an inability to reject orders and the way delivery distance was calculated. On 16 November 2021 police warned the protesting workers to disperse or face possible force, a scene HKFP described as rare since 2019. After two rounds of negotiations, the second held after the Hong Kong office consulted the Berlin-based parent company, riders ended the strike on 19 November 2021 with an agreement on improved wages and working conditions. The action is widely described as the first major strike by gig platform workers in Hong Kong.
