Alibaba to add 3,000 workers in Shanghai

Its food delivery platform will dispatch 600 couriers from other cities.

Alibaba has expressed plans to add 3,000 workers to help distribute goods to locked-down residents in Shanghai, China, the company said in a press release.

The company said the group’s food delivery platform Ele.me will dispatch 600 couriers from other cities to Shanghai. At the same time, Alibaba logistics service Cainiao will bring in another 500 delivery people.

Earlier in the week, Alibaba’s grocery chain Freshippo said four of its membership stores in Shanghai had started offering self-pick-up for bulk groceries orders. Priority was given to healthcare workers, volunteers and special needs groups.

Freshippo said it started to offer the self-pick-up option in Shanghai as an add-on to the delivery services. By 6 April, more than ten Freshippo stores and Store X membership stores provided delivery services for group buying grocery orders in the city.
