"Frichti thanked us last week" by announcing identity checks at the entrance to its premises, said Monday Moussa Fofana, a delivery man for the company for two years.
Like him, nearly 200 delivery men from Mali, Senegal and even Ivory Coast demonstrated in front of one of the “hubs” of the meal delivery company, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Dressed in yellow vests from the company, these undocumented delivery men asked that the company help with their regularization.

"As they ask us for papers, they only have to help us to regularize us," continued Moussa. "After confinement, Frichti no longer needs us and throws us out," bitterly bemoans Ibrahim Keita, who presents himself as the spokesperson for the delivery men.
The lawyer Kevin Mention, who accompanies these undocumented deliverers, encouraged them to ask Frichti for an employment contract so that they can then be regularized, while many of them are self-employed and therefore considered by Frichti as service providers. and not as employees.
"Stop the time of regularization"
"It is the first time in France that undocumented deliverers organize themselves collectively and as such, it is historic", noted Marilyne Poulain, responsible for the immigration issue at the CGT for whom "today" Today, regularization for auto-entrepreneurs is not necessarily provided for in the law ”.
"A control implemented at the beginning of June 2020 revealed that certain partners were no longer able to present us with a regular situation," said in a Frichti press release, citing irregularities for "a very small proportion of auto-entrepreneurs carrying out delivery activities'. A collaboration stop "the time for them to regularize their situation". Since the start of the year, 600 delivery men have worked for the brand, which explains that it offers "case-by-case support in their administrative procedures".
