At the end of February there was a strike of this kind, which “was a success”, highlights the spokesperson for the “Relays in Fight” movement, speaking to ECO. This time, it will be “even more impactful”, he promises.
“The strike will take place on the 22nd of this month. The request is for a tariff adjustment. The platforms say they are willing to negotiate, but they are not moving", highlights Marcel Borges, who explains that the protest is being organized by the "Relays in Fight" (with 220 members) and the "Restafetas Unidos (with around a thousand members).
The spokesperson for “Estafetas Unidos”, Hans Mello, detailed that, among the couriers' demands, is the minimum payment of three euros per delivery, plus 50 cents for each kilometre travelled over distances of two to 4.9 kilometres, and an extra euro for trips longer than five kilometres.
