Workers across several food delivery platforms will withdraw their services on one of the busiest nights of the year for the hospitality sector in protest of pay and working conditions. 

Couriers across both Cork and Dublin have said they will not work Valentine's evening, one of the most profitable nights for gig workers, joining protestors worldwide to draw attention to low pay along with insecure and often, dangerous conditions.
