The Ugl riders union in Italy is advocating for significant improvements in working conditions for delivery personnel. National secretary Gianluca Mancini has reported a decline in earnings over the last two and a half years, leading the union to negotiate for pay increases between 40% and 50%.

In addition to compensation, the union is pushing for safety reforms to combat physical aggression against workers. Proposed measures include incorporating rider risks into companies’ Risk Assessment Documents (DVR), implementing specialized training, and potentially obscuring house numbers in high-risk areas to prevent targeted attacks.
