The FNV thinks it is positive that Deliveroo is leaving the Netherlands. The company has drawn its own conclusions and says that its turnover is too small. The FNV thinks that the lawsuits that the union has filed and won against Deliveroo also play a major role in the decision to leave. Deliveroo could also have opted for good employership.

The FNV believes that there are no space is in the Netherlands for companies that do not comply with the rules of labor law. The lawsuits that the union has filed not only against Deliveroo, but also against Temper, Uber and Helpling, make it clear time and again that the court also believes that platform workers are not self-employed, but employees. Because the government still does not enforce the DBA (is someone an employee or really self-employed person) law, platform employers do nothing to follow the court rulings.

FNV continues legal battle

Deliveroo has appealed the latest, unfavorable ruling for them. The Supreme Court's decision is expected in December. Just before that, Deliveroo will now leave the Netherlands. The FNV continues its proceedings against Deliveroo. The meal deliverers are entitled to supplementary payments.

During the Email Deliveroo informs customers that it has made the difficult decision to start a consultation process on the proposal to stop operations in the Netherlands. According to the company, this was not an easy decision and they had to think very carefully about it. They are currently going through a consultation process about the proposal to leave the Dutch market.
