Thirty bicycle couriers working for Deliveroo in Bordeaux gathered on Tuesday to protest the new "random pricing" proposed "unilaterally" by the meal delivery platform, fearing a decrease in their remuneration. These delivery men, practicing for the majority this activity full time, are indignant against the new tariffs which are proposed to them by the platform since July 20th. According to them, the contracts signed since February by new deliverers already include this clause. "As self-contractors, we charge delivery services Deliveroo offers us in a rider to our contract a random pricing indicated in a request for support", explained to AFP Nicolas Balastegui, 33 years, who works for the platform for two years.

"With this new system, the pricing can pbad double, a day 7 euros for 4 km, and the next 4 euros for the same distance", denounces Malick , 24 years. "We think it depends on demand: when it's strong, Deliveroo wants it to go fast and raise prices, when it's calm, they prefer to pay less". "With Deliveroo, it's the only job where, the more experience you have, the less you make money," says the delivery boy who, at the start, a year and a half ago, won "15 to 20 euros per hour against about 10 euros today, not counting the expenses of the auto-company ", he explains.

All the deliverers present Tuesday, organized in collective or member of the union of the couriers CGT Gironde, deplore that this proposal for a change of contract does not guarantee them "any official minimum". "And as if by chance, they are waiting for the summer to propose this change of contract," laments Nicolas Balastegui. The couriers had gathered in front of the premises of the platform in Bordeaux where they hoped to be received in the afternoon, in vain.
