Delivery drivers in Nicosia held a demonstration on Monday following the death of a moped rider last week.

The 26-year-old driver from Bangladesh was fatally hit while riding his scooter on the job last Thursday.

The demo was held outside the offices of Peo union.

A spokesman for the union said the protest was self-organised by the drivers but fully supported by Peo, as well as unions Sek and Deok.

The drivers are asking for their safety and security at work to be taken seriously and properly regulated and for delivery workers to be afforded dignity at work.

The protest comes as collective agreement negotiations are underway to determine the exact nature of the relationship between the drivers and the online platform operators who dispatch them.

Late last year the drivers held a series of strikes over working conditions.
