The platform for delivery of food at home
Just Eat Spain
and the unions
CCOO and UGT
have signed this Friday the first agreement to
regulate the working conditions of the so-called 'riders'
of this company, as reported in a joint statement.
The text, which has not been made public,
will come into force in January
and will be
applicable throughout the country
.
"It has the ambition to become the starting point for a future homogeneous negotiation in the sector of activity", have indicated the unions and the company.
Specifically, it regulates the working conditions of the sector and seeks to
eliminate the precariousness
of the distributors by establishing a "
living wage
" and guaranteeing a
"certain day with digital disconnection".
"Just Eat has always bet on the
labor force of the delivery person
as our legal system marks. A high level of affiliation with the delivery men is also one of the keys to guaranteeing excellence in the performance of our activity. This agreement reinforces this commitment and goes a a step further. As leaders in the sector,
we aspire for this collective agreement to be the precedent for a future sectoral agreement
", said
Patrik Bergareche
, CEO of Just Eat in Spain.
The agreement between the platform and the unions has been presented just a week after the
European Commission
announced its proposal for a Directive to regulate platform work in the community context.
In Spain,
Just Eat
serves 95% of the national territory, where it has more than
2.5 million active users
and more than
20,000 associated restaurants.
Other companies like Deliveroo have left the country
The agreement signed today is the first to take place in the sector, which has suffered significant turbulence this year after the approval of the controversial 'rider law', which obliges these platforms to
hire delivery drivers
, until now self-employed workers.
The implementation of this law by the Government has already led other companies such as
Deliveroo
to leave their activity in Spain, although they alleged at that time that it was not a key market for them.
Just Eat's other two competitors,
Glovo and Uber Eats,
do intend to stay.
The first has directly hired part of the delivery men with fixed salaries and hours, while the second is subcontracting part of the fleets.
