Freelancing has modified for distributors and is nothing like how this work mannequin began. On the streets of Patras, but additionally of the remainder of the nation, hundreds of distributors flow into daily with their two-wheelers to serve the orders of their fellow residents.
In contrast to up to now the place every retailer had its personal distributors, now most shops work with the massive purple, blue and orange platforms. Because of this the distributors additionally “modified” employers and from the native retailer they have been working with, they’re now working with an “impersonal” giant firm.
The businesses then gave distributors the flexibility to work as freelancers. Hundreds of them most popular this modification, since within the first interval the cash somebody who needed to work a number of hours might earn was extra. Nonetheless, this tactic of the businesses hid “traps” that made the work of the distributors very troublesome.
In Patras, freelancers distributors have united by establishing their very own union with the purpose of successfully coping with the issues of the sector.
Having clear requests, recently they’ve been continuing with a sequence of interventions and conferences with political figures with a purpose to discover the precise they’ve misplaced. Primarily what they’re searching for is to have the proper, authorized phrases utilized to their work.
Their requests embody the next:
- They request the implementation of the Joint Ministerial Choice of 2023 concerning the free provision of private protecting tools with security specs. The businesses have discovered a “loophole” and whereas they supply the required tools as required, they then deduct the worth of offering it from their charges! Primarily, it’s as if they’re transferring the price of supplying private protecting tools to the distributors.
- A second huge thorn within the working relationship they’ve with the massive and well-known firms is that within the final two years, their charges have been dramatically lowered, as much as 40%, by unilateral selections of the businesses, despite the fact that there are signed open-ended contracts with particular tariffs . The distributors request that the State set up a worth listing of minimal charges and fees to guard the extent of companies supplied.
- An essential concern that can be raised by the distributors of Patras and the remainder of the nation is that there is no such thing as a transparency within the calculation of the charge per order. They complain that the platforms now conceal and thus it’s not recognized by what parameters the charge is decided (eg base charge, mileage, time, weekday or weekend, order measurement, and so on.). They request that it’s an obligation of the businesses to research and disclose the parameters that decide the proposed charge per order. Additionally, though there’s a provision within the legislation that states that distributors are freelancers and retain the precise to freely select whether or not and what number of initiatives they are going to tackle, the “purple” firm requires distributors to announce on a weekly foundation shifts (“slots”) and areas that can work and to those that don’t declare or don’t adhere to the declared program they cease cooperation.
- Lastly, an enormous – and unacceptable – drawback that has been noticed is that firms terminate partnerships at will, with out warning and with none justification. They fee distributors illegally and with out transparency and don’t give details about these scores to freelancers, which is a violation of the 2022 legislation.
