GMB Trade Union - 1,000s of Evri drivers reject pay deal

Thousands of Evri drivers have rejected a pay deal from bosses with a massive majority.

More than 6,000 couriers voted on the offer– which dates back to 2025 – with almost 97 per cent voting to turn it down.

GMB Union, which has had a recognition deal with Evri since 2019, recommended drivers reject the deal for the first time.

GMB will meet with couriers to discuss next steps.

Nicola Savage, GMB National Officer said:

“This overwhelming majority sends a clear, united, and decisive message.

"Evri couriers do a gruelling job, delivering millions of packages across the UK in a timely fashion, often getting nothing but abuse for their hard work

“It’s no wonder they are demanding a decent pay rise.

“This pay offer is a year late and is well below what they feel they deserve.

“Today’s result is not the end of the journey—it is a powerful step forward.

"GMB will now meet with Evri members to discuss next steps, which could involve industrial action."
