Overview
- An amendment signed by Uber Eats and Deliveroo with unions on Friday, July 10 raises the minimum gross hourly revenue from €11.75 to €19 and takes effect on September 1.
- The new guarantee will be measured weekly, excludes tips from the pay calculation, and includes a clause for annual or earlier re-examination if exceptional events occur.
- Uber Eats said the change requires about €50 million in annual investment to secure couriers’ incomes and Deliveroo described the deal as evidence that social dialogue in the sector can work.
- The move follows ARPE data showing sharp real declines in gross hourly rates from 2021–2024 and a March 2026 ANSES report warning of accident, stress and surveillance risks linked to platform algorithms.
- Negotiations continue over safety measures, sudden account deactivations and algorithm transparency, and the outcome will be watched as France transposes the EU’s 2024 platform-workers directive into national law.
