Deliveroo, Glovo, Just Eat: what changes for the riders with the Assodelivery-Ugl contract
The news of the national labor contract for the riders of Deliveroo, Glovo, Just Eat, Social Food and Uber Eats (and more) signed by Assodelivery and Ugl. The criticisms of CGIL, CISL and UIL. And the debate between experts
Riders will also have a contract, with minimum compensation and insurance. Assodelivery , an association that represents the Italian food delivery industry, and which among others represents Deliveroo, Glovo, Just Eat, Social Food and Uber Eats, and the Ugl union signed a national collective labor agreement which, for the first time in Europe, it increases the protection of riders who operate as self-employed workers in the Italian food delivery industry.
What does the contract provide? What rights for the riders? All the details.
THE MINIMUM REMUNERATION
What changes for the riders? The contract provides for a minimum fee of € 10 per hour worked.
Supplementary allowances of 10%, 15% and 20% are also provided for one, two or three of the following conditions: night work, holidays and bad weather. An hourly incentive of 7 euros is included in the national contract, even in the case of the absence of job offers, for the first 4 months from the opening of the service in a new city.
A PREMIUM SYSTEM
It's still. Good news for the rider's wallets is the introduction of a reward system, equal to 600 euros for every 2000 deliveries made.
SECURITY EQUIPMENT AND INSURANCE
The national contract mentions the safety equipment, which will be borne by the platforms (high visibility clothing and helmet for those who ride a bike, which will be replaced respectively every 1500 and 4000 deliveries) and the accident insurance coverage ( Inail ) and for damages against third parties.
TRAINING
Riders will have to train with particular reference to road safety and safety in the transport of food.
PRIVACY PROTECTION
Rights include the prohibition of discrimination, equal opportunities and the protection of privacy, principles that will characterize the functioning of the technological systems of the individual platforms.
CONTRAST TO CAPORALATE AND TRADE UNION RIGHTS
Assodelivery and Ugl are also committed to combating illegal hiring and illegal work, putting in place a set of initiatives to combat crime.
The riders are also recognized trade union rights, i.e. a fixed amount of days and hours for riders who take on the role of union leaders.
UGL RIDER
And in the name of the above, the Ugl union has set up a representative and unitary organization for the rider category, Ugl Rider, dedicated to workers in the sector.
THE SATISFACTION OF UGL
“We have started an epochal change because for the first time an employer organization recognizes trade union rights for self-employed workers” commented Paolo Capone, Ugl Secretary General.
“It has been a long and challenging journey in which the union has invested and which has allowed us to regulate, together with AssoDelivery, the work of riders in the food delivery sector. Italian riders finally have greater protections through the newly signed CCNL Rider, a prime example of how to regulate changing work. From today we look at many other categories that are not yet reached by bargaining in Italy and Europe. In this sense, the 'on demand economy' has created new opportunities and ways of working in various industries, so new types of workers need a contract like the one we signed today ”.
HISTORIC MOMENT
“It is a historic moment”, commented Matteo Sarzana (Deliveroo), president of AssoDelivery. "For the first time, collective bargaining reaches the world of self-employment by introducing minimum wages, supplementary benefits, incentives, reward systems, safety equipment, insurance, training and many other rights, while maintaining the flexibility and rewards that seek workers in the sector ".
THE NUMBERS OF FOOD DELIVERY
The numbers of the sector are increasingly important. Around 500 employees and at least 30,000 riders work in the food delivery sector. The sector, explains a joint note between Assodelivery and Ugl, "has supported an additional 30,000 employees in the supply chain, including restaurateurs and suppliers, who benefit from this new business which in 2020 will generate approximately 750 million additional turnover for the Italian catering sector. , as noted by the Politecnico di Milano ".
THE REACTION OF THE OTHER TRADE UNIONS
"An unacceptable and incomprehensible attitude of Assodelivery led to the signing of a contract for the Riders with Ugl despite the presence of an interlocution and a union table opened in July at the Ministry of Labor and updated in September", they say in a note joint Cgil, Cisl and Uil regarding the signing of the first national collective agreement between AssoDelivery, an association representing the Italian food delivery industry to which Deliveroo, Glovo, Just Eat, Social Food and Uber Eats adhere, and the Ugl union. “This is – explain the unions – an operation that provides for a low wage in exchange for greater precariousness”. For this reason, the note concludes "we ask for the reconvocation of the union table in the institutional setting"

THE DEBATE
The news of the day is the signing between Assodelivery and @UGLConf of the first CCNL for riders in Italy (but I would also say in Europe and the world as far as I know).

This agreement, without being "historic" or "unprecedented", has the potential to shake up the Italian (and international) debate on platform work and the all-Italian debate on the representation of employers and trade unions that has been lying without answers for decades.
