Every day, food-delivery workers cross Paris and Bordeaux in all weather, working long hours for pay well below France’s minimum wage. For most, this work provides their only source of income.
A new survey of around 1,000 workers in France who deliver food for companies such as Uber Eats and Deliveroo describes the consequences of platform or “gig” work.
The findings mirror what Human Rights Watch has documented in the United States, including in a survey of 127 platform workers in the state of Texas.
In France, 56 percent of platform workers reported going an entire day without a proper meal due to lack of money in the past year. In Texas, nearly two-thirds reported difficulty paying for food and groceries.
