Insurance for Uber and DiDi delivery drivers: Mexico would be a pioneer in recognizing their labor rights
After presenting its petition, Unta noted that, if a “more robust reform” is approved, the benefits would not only be for workers in Mexico, but throughout the world.
This is because the Government of Mexico has shown interest in the dignity of the labor rights of delivery workers, becoming a pioneer of regulation between drivers and digital platforms.
In protest, the Unta union revealed that 80 percent of its workers they work a full working day (48 hours per week), thus denying the studies presented by Uber.
“Uber has done misleading studies where they say that 70 percent of its workers work less than 10 hours a week, this is not true, we have records that for 80 percent of workers it is their main source of income”
