With mobilizations, the employees respond to the movements of efood.
The warning work stop follows the message that e-food sent last Wednesday to its distributors through the Road runner application – this is an application through which the distributors are connected to e-food and the orders that fall into the system.
With that first message, efood informed a portion of its distributors – the company is talking about 115 – that it does not intend to renew the three-month employment contracts and instead suggested that they work as freelancers if they so wished.
Following the uproar, there was a reflection on Friday night by efood which informed its distributors through a new message that all distributors will continue to have the choice:
– To renew at the end of their existing contract on the same terms.
– To become freelancers if they wished.
The mobilizations
The first to enter the “dance” of mobilizations is the Trade Union of Tourism Food Workers (SETEPE) of Thessaloniki, which has announced for today a work stoppage between 10.00 and 14.00 for the employees of efood distributors in the prefectures of Thessaloniki, Halkidiki and Pieria.
On Wednesday, there will be mobilizations in Attica. Specifically, the Trade Union of Food, Tourism, Hotels & Related Professions of the Prefecture of Attica and the Assembly of the Base of Employees of Motorcyclists for Couriers, Express Distributors and Employees of Outdoor Employment by Motorcycle (S.B.E.O.D.) announced a warning work stoppage between 12.00 and 16.00 and a procession that will start from the University Propylaea to end at the headquarters of efood in Heraklion, Attica.
