Instagram account Delivery Jobs UK, grouping together some of the sector's workforce, has urged meal and shopping platform couriers to strike on February 14 between 1700 GMT and 2200 GMT. That is when the appetite for speedily-delivered Valentine's Day evening meals is expected to surge across Britain -- for those who don't want to cook. "The choice of Valentine's Day for the strike is strategic, aimed at maximising visibility and impact," Ulisses told AFP in an interview. "Valentine's Day is one of the busiest days for delivery services, with a high demand for meal deliveries." Delivery Jobs UK's membership also comprises UK-based delivery staff from other nations including Albania, Nigeria and Romania.
