Los trabajadores de plataformas digitales en México ganaron el reconocimiento de sus derechos laborales. No dejarán que las plataformas pisoteen sus derechos.

Al grito de, “No somos socios, somos trabajadores”, cientos de trabajadores de todo México que prestan servicios de transporte y reparto a través de las plataformas digitales realizaron un paro laboral de dos horas el 15 de mayo para exigir tarifas justas, un fin a las desconexiones injustificadas, y, en última instancia, un acuerdo colectivo de trabajo con gigantes de las aplicaciones como Uber, Didi y Rappi. La Unión Nacional de Trabajadores por Aplicación y de Reparto de México (UNTA) dijo que el paro laboral incluyó a trabajadores en cinco estados y en la Ciudad de México.
