According to the Daily Mail, a takeaway rider in Foodora was involved in an unfair dismissal case because he received less than half of the minimum wage in Australia. The rider accused Foodora of "19th-century exploitation" of employees.
Take-out brother Josh Klooger said he was fired by Foodora in March because he refused to submit information about working conditions on an encrypted chat group to the company.
The 28-year-old Melbourne takeout rider complained to the Fair work Commission (Foodora,) that Foodora paid him less than 8 Australian dollars an hour, compared with a minimum of 17.70 Australian dollars an hour in 2016.

Labour's transport union is on the Josh Klooger's side, accusing Germany's takeaway giant Foodora of owning 21st-century technology and pursuing "19th-century" industrial relations.
Michael Kane, the union's acting state secretary, said it was not a dazzling new economy-it was 19th-century exploitation, the only difference being through the APP.
"the transport union will bring evidence that the Foodora is playing a side ball with the law and that Foodora's arrangement is a scam just to deprive Australian workers of their rights."
In the fight against Foodora, the takeout boy said Foodora often hired temporary workers to deliver takeout and that he had to come forward to protect other workers from exploitation.
Take-out, Josh Klooger.
'it 's time for something to change, so I decided to step up and I lost my job,'he said in an interview with reporters in Sydney on Tuesday.
Two years ago, when the take-out boy joined Foodora, the contract said he would be paid $14 an hour, with a coupon of $5 per order.
The new rider, he says, can only get $7 an hour and has no commission at all.
In February, in an interview, he said he was lucky compared to the riders, earning 8 Australian dollars an hour.
He also said he was fired by Foodora in March because he refused to submit material from an encrypted chat group in which Foodora employees compare pay and working conditions.
According to Fairi Fax, the invitation-only "Teamchat Foodora" used Telegram., an instant messaging service, in 2016.
A spokeswoman for Foodora said the matter was still under review, so they declined to comment.
In a statement to Australian Associated Press, she said it was not time to comment.
