A group of drivers refused to pick up their parcels for the day from one of the firm's delivery units in Wythenshawe on Wednesday morning in response to changes to their routes which they say will affect their earnings.
They say they 'grafted hard' over the Christmas period to help clear a huge backlog but claim the 'tipping point' came when changes to their routes were implemented this week.
Some allege the number of parcels allocated to them has been 'slashed' Some of the self-employed workers who claim they normally deliver on average over 150 parcels a day- say in the last few days they have arrived at the depot to find just a few dozen packages allocated to them.
They say this means they will earn less than £20 for a round.
The M.E.N. spoke to workers who said the group numbered over 20, though the firm insists it was just a handful and that deliveries were not affected.
Evri also claimed the couriers earned in excess of minimum wage and that they are 'in discussions' with dissatisfied workers.
