Labour and Industry Minister Luigi
Di Maio on Monday kicked off talks aimed at ensuring
food-delivery riders get a minimum level of protection of their
labour rights and wages.
During a meeting with the representatives of Deliveroo,
Justit, Foodora, Domino's pizza and Glovo, Di Maio proposed the
opening of negotiations between the gig-economy digital
platforms and the riders.
"Who knows? We might get the first national contract for the
gig economy," said Di Maio after the meeting.
The companies involved also said the encounter was positive
and conducted with a spirit of cooperation.
Di Maio also announced he was declaring a "serious war on
precarious jobs... we'll reduce the number of temporary contract
renewals" that companies can offer workers.
