Through the #NiUnRepartidorMenos collective, made up of food delivery people such as Rappi, Uber Eats and Didi Food, they announced a work stoppage.
On November 3, the distributors of applications will march with the intention of requesting and demanding improvements in their working conditions, adding to an international strike of workers in the United States and Latin America.
In Mexico City the march will be from Estela de Luz to the Zócalo, starting at 6 in the afternoon.
The demands of the application distributors are:
-Base salary
-Additional payment that includes conditions such as rain and night hours
-Medical expenses insurance
-License paid due to illness or accident, among others.
This intention was announced through the collective’s twitter account, as well as the appointment for each delivery person who attends this movement.
This will be the 5th international strike of distributors, who have focused on demanding the issue of labor rights and improving their conditions.
What happens in Mexico with this issue?
Mexico has been advancing in agreements for the benefit of these distributors, since the IMSS signed an agreement with the platforms so that their workers were registered in the Mandatory Regime of Independent Workers for the unemployment of a daily quota.
For its part, in the Senate is the proposal so that every delivery person, driver or messenger of applications in our country, should be considered a formal worker.
While there is still no formal debate and solution, the issue is important to meeting the demands of the workers.
In turn, Oxfam Mexico, which is a global movement that works to end inequality and poverty, shared how to support this national strike (if you wish) if you are not a delivery person:
- Taking a selfie with a sign with the hashtag #NiUnRepartidorMenos
- Record a 30-second video to emphasize the importance of the recognition of labor rights
- Make a publication about the importance of unemployment
