They call distributors from the US and Latin America to stop activities.
They ask for workers of application of formal labor benefits in Mexico.
In a year in which the home delivery service plans to invoice more than 2 billion dollars in Mexico, the impact of national and international stoppages of delivery people is reflected in applications such as Rappi, Uber Eats and Didi food, as well as local restaurants and businesses. Faced with the requests for legislation on labor rights for delivery, workers and members of the #NiUnRepartidorMenos collective announced today the fifth strike of distributors in both the United States and Latin America.
Shops and consumer:
Affiliate restaurants pay between 28 and 30 percent plus VAT of the price of each order to delivery applications such as Uber Eats, Didi Food or Rappi; The commission, depending on the platforms, is used to absorb the cost of shipping and the profit of the distributors, as well as for the management of orders, advertising and marketing of the establishments and their offers.
Statista data reveal that, at least, a Mexican spends a year 74 dollars on food delivery orders, that is, about 1,500 pesos only in local establishments and businesses; Likewise, the same Mexican invests 54.4 dollars or 1,130 pesos in deliveries from other types of establishments, larger and more formal.
With these data, it is anticipated that, per year, delivery applications leave an economic spill in Mexico of 1,657 million dollars, so that the cessation of delivery activities does impact small and medium-sized businesses more.
According to Statista, in the category of food at home, our country also concentrates the highest percentage of products sold on the internet, with 66 percent; However, despite the explosion of apps due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 50 percent of the restaurant and inn market still do not take advantage of it.
This year alone, the home delivery applications available throughout Mexico expect to invoice 2,164 million dollars, 18 percent more than that reported in 2020, in the hardest stage of the health crisis where more establishments and people registered in some delivery platform.
Delivery platforms:
Uber Eats started operations in Mexico City in 2016 with 100 restaurants; To date, it has more than 35 thousand registered establishments and a distribution offer of more than two million dishes.
Rappi also started in 2016 and at the beginning of this year reported more than 50 thousand delivery people and more than 2 million orders delivered, with a high level of satisfaction.
Meanwhile, Didi has also highlighted an increase in Mexico of 150 percent until December 2020, with about 200 thousand drivers and delivery partners, of whom, they say, 20 percent are students and seek an extra income with this type of service.
56 companions who died from March 2020 to date.
We cannot continue to allow more Injured, Mutilated or Dead and that neither Applications or Responsible parties pay for this.
See you on November 3.#SomosRepas#UnidxsWorldAction#NiUnRepartidorLas pic.twitter.com/AryE0WDaKj– #NiUnRepartidorMenos (@repartidorr) October 26, 2021
