BREAKING: the Italian Ministry of Labour has already ruled that the collective agreement food-delivery platform work cannot be considered signed by the most representative organizations. As such it cannot derogate from the law wired.it/economia/lavor…

The Ministry says: the signatories of the agreement do not meet the tests to be the most representative social partners at the national level, as required by the law. It also notes: the minimum legal requirements to set an hourly remuneration not based on piece-rate are not met

Finally, the Ministry takes exception with the CBA establishing that the riders are freelancers. This is not up to the social partners to decide as the legal classification of work arrangements belongs to the courts

This is the official opinion of the Ministry, but it is not sure whether it is finally binding. As important as it is, the last word on this belongs to the courts as well. Certainly, such as swift answer from the Ministry shows how important the issue is for all the parties
