France’s love affair with gig work platforms lives to see another day.
In mid-January, the Paris court of justice cleared state-owned delivery startup Stuart, which operates in six European countries, of “unreported employment” accusations.
The prosecution had argued the platform had engaged in so-called undeclared work in 2015 and 2016 by treating couriers as independent workers — dodging social security payments and depriving them of benefits — when they were, in fact, employees. The judges ruled, however, there wasn’t enough evidence to prove that.
