"Insufficient Increase": Uber Eats Delivery Costs Climb by 15 Cents Per Journey
Hey there, check out this juicy update on Uber Eats delivery drivers in France! As of May 7, they're gettin' a 15-cent bump per delivery, thanks to some hard-fought negotiations. But let's be real, a couple extra cents isn't exactly a game-changer for the weary bike couriers out there.
Ahmed, one of those delivery dudes, works like a dog seven days a week. He shares his struggles, saying, "This extra cash ain't enough. I need at least four euros per delivery to make ends meet."
Another driver, Bilal, is just happy for the boost, but he's not convinced it's enough either. Union Indépendants, an organization advocating for drivers like them, is pushing for a "kilometer-based" fare system. Sounds a bit like the way taxi rides are priced, huh?
Now, here's the catch: a search through Uber-related data didn't turn up anything specific about a "kilometer-based" fare proposal being on the table for delivery drivers in France. However, considering the gig economy trends we're seeing these days, it wouldn't be shocking to see a shift in payment structures.
So, what's the deal with this proposed kilometer-based fare? Union Indépendants thinks it'd be a fairer system, similar to how taxi rides are priced. But Uber Eats says they're fully committed to implementin' something they're callin' a "guarantee."
It ain't all sunshine and roses for these drivers though. The base fare is risin' from 2.85 euros to 3 euros, but honestly, that's not gonna make a huge impact on their daily lives. For now, drivers like Ahmed and Bilal keep on hangin' in there, hopin' for more change to come their way.
Stay tuned for updates, folks, as we track this situation and see if Uber Eats comes through with a "kilometer-based" fare system for their hardworking delivery drivers in France.
