Delivery apps DiDi and Rappi along with tech giant Uber proposed an offering to the workers. They offered social security benefits to the workers for the first time before the new government bill set to regulate the gig economy in Mexico.

The companies addressed on Wednesday that they were opening the benefits for those drivers and couriers around the city who work for more than 40 hours a week on any one of the platforms or both. This statement was signed by the worker-rights activist groups as well.

The company classified the details to the employees on how the payments towards Social Security costs will be divided among them.

Mexican Labor Minister Luisa Alcalde has said officers are working on a bill that would bring gig workers into the “formal economy,” although the timeline is still unclear.

It is also not predicted if the bill will strive to make drivers employees, or suggest other reforms in line with the apps’ announcement.

Many ridesharing apps and delivery apps around the globe have a strike against the tagline that the workers get. They demanded to be classified as employees rather than independent contractors as the change would affect their business structure and deny drivers flexibility.

The statement from various firms like Uber, Chinese mobility firm DiDi Global Inc and Latin American delivery app Rappi also proposed establishing tools to assure fair pay in line with time labored.

“It’s time to take the next step and find a point of consensus … and start improving conditions,” Tonatiuh Anzures, Didi’s government affairs director in Mexico, said in an interview.

“Any changes will depend on further talks and government backing”, Anzures added.

Nicolas Sanchez, Uber’s head of public policy in Mexico, said that he wished that extra costs would be low but Uber was “open to them” if the industry, which confines some 500,000 people, was permitted to retain flexibility.

A few dozen employees honked on motorcycles outside the Mexico City building where the businesses were slated to hold news briefings Wednesday, in what Sergio Guerrero, head of the National Union of Application Workers, called a rally against the companies’ stance.

“To have labor rights, you have to be recognized as an employee,” he said.

Delivery and ride-hailing apps respond to Mexican government's proposal to provide their workers with social security coverage.
