Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The Anglo-Dutch online food delivery platform Just Eat has announced that it will lay off 117 couriers in Paris by September 2024.
The company launched its own delivery service at the beginning of 2021, using employees under permanent contracts, hourly wages, and income guarantees - a unique approach in a sector typically dominated by independent contractor models. Just Eat France states that it is no longer in a position to exploit its delivery system on a large scale in Paris because the French market is in favour of an independent model. The move does not affect the rest of the activities in France, since the platform (10,000 addresses) is delivered by caterers themselves and, to a lesser extent, by start-up Stuart.
Just Eat is part of the Anglo-Dutch group Just Eat Takeaway.
A previous restructuring event of Just Eat in France was recorded in the ERM events database in 2022 JUST EAT-2022-FR.
Updated,13/11/2024 The Paris Administrative Court has annulled the job-saving plan put forward by Just Eat as the company signed a collective agreement in November 2022. Following the previous large restructuring, Just Eat agreed it could not put in place a new redundancy procedure for economic reasons for two years starting December 21.
