Case Study No. 2: Food-Delivery Riders and Fair Working Conditions—The Deliveroo and Uber Eats Cases
摘要
The Deliveroo and Uber Eats cases, also brought in front of the Tribunal of Milan are herein presented. They concern food delivery riders, being the former an injunctive and the latter a compensatory action. Through them key aspects of the 2019 Italian dual procedural model are highlighted, underscoring critical aspects and potential trends for the future. In particular, the extensive use of class actions in the employment sector in the common law experience makes it significantly urgent to study such initial lawsuits, as well as to consider the problematic aspect of the current competence in front of the specialised section on company matters of the Tribunal, even for these claims which individually pertain to the competence of the judge specialised in labour matters.
