November 23, 2020The turning point for riders comes from Palermo where a court ruling can teach.

"For the first time, the full-time and permanent employment relationship of a rider is recognized by an Italian court".



The CGIL of Palermo says it, that through the

Nidil,

the category of atypical workers, claimed a cyclofactor of the Spanish company Glovo, Marco Tuttolomondo, 49, who "out of the blue - explains the union - was' disconnected from the platform for which he delivered food and drinks at home and fired. The decision was made by the labor judge, Paola Marino, of the court of Palermo who, after the conciliation proposal made at the end of October, issued the final sentence ordering the reinstatement of Tuttolomondo in the workplace with a subordinate employment contract full-time and permanent, with an hourly salary, therefore no longer by piecework, with a sixth level classification, applying the collective agreement for the tertiary sector, distribution and services. 



The judge also ordered compensation for damage from the day of disconnection to the day of the effective reintegrates and the salary difference between what the rider earned with the autonomous contract and what he would have been entitled to with a cont

ratification of subordinate work.

"A historic sentence - say the secretary Nidil Cgil Palermo Andrea Gattuso and the general secretary of Palermo Mario Ridulfo - is a victory for everyone and for everyone. This recognition could even go far beyond the perimeter of the work of the riders, stemming the proliferation of the last years of self-employment contracts for tasks that have always been typical of subordinate work ". 



"The rider, together with the union, had participated in a broadcast on a local television network, denouncing the difficult condition experienced by the cyclists of the home delivery platforms. Shortly after - explains the CGIL - his app was blocked. This is the first such pronunciation ".



The appeal that bears the signature of the Roman lawyers of Filcams, Nidil and Filt Carlo de Marchis, Matilde Bidetti, Sergio Vacirca and the Palermo lawyer of Nidil Giorgia Lo Monaco.

"it is a sentence - says the legal team - that fills us with pride. The first judicial recognition of a form of work that we have always believed cannot be carried out with a self-employed contract but must be regulated as a true own employment relationship ".
