Working as a rider in Italy
In Italy there is no specific legislation for the so-called riders (workers performing their activity on behalf of delivery companies, usually linked to digital platforms). These workers have become a symbol of precarious work, also because of the frequent road accidents in which – especially when operating in large cities – they are often involved when darting between cars with their bicycles or motorcycles to deliver goods as quickly as possible (as the delivery companies promise to their clients).
