Food delivery workers affiliated with the online delivery platform Efood have planned a work stoppage during the World Cup final on July 19, demanding higher wages and improved working conditions.
In a statement, the union representing Efood workers said it is seeking the signing of a collective labor agreement that includes pay rises for all employees, including delivery riders, office staff, warehouse workers, and employees at Efood markets.
The union is also calling for a guaranteed minimum hourly wage, full coverage for work-related accidents, free personal protective equipment for freelance delivery riders, and the option for freelancers to convert their contracts into employment agreements if they choose.
The work stoppage will run from 7 p.m. to midnight and will coincide with a protest gathering at the intersection of Kifissias and Alexandras avenues, according to the union.
