The Tokyo Labor Relations Commission ordered the operating company of Uber Eats, which delivers food, to respond to collective bargaining with a labor union made up of delivery workers. I appealed to the Labor Relations Commission for a re-examination.
In response to the issue of the Uber Eats operating company being asked to respond to collective bargaining to improve treatment by a labor union formed by some of the delivery workers, the Tokyo Labor Relations Commission said last month that ``delivery workers are subject to the Labor Union Act. I ordered the operating company to respond to the negotiations, saying that it was the upper worker.
Regarding this, the operating company filed a reexamination with the Central Labor Relations Commission by the 8th.
Regarding the reason, he said, ``I believe that the Labor Relations Commission's decision does not fully consider the flexible and independent work styles that delivery partners value.''
It was the first time that delivery workers who work using a system called a "platform" that connects restaurants and delivery workers through a smartphone app were allowed to form labor unions and collective bargaining, and the company's response was attracting attention.
