Description
On 28 September 2023, a tribunal in Milan has ruled that the lay-off of 4,000 Uber Eats riders in Italy, which the company has announced in June 2023, is to be reversed. The platform had decided to stop food deliveries via Uber Eats due to a lower level of growth than anticipated.
The Milan tribunal argues that Uber Eats has failed to appropriately consult trade unions, and condemns the platform for anti-union conduct. The ruling calls on Uber Eats to reverse the lay-offs and consult trade unions. The tribunal also connects this ruling to the need to treat riders as employees.
Uber Eats has announced that it will appeal the decision.
