By Lee I-chia / Staff reporterA group of Foodpanda deliverers and their lawyer yesterday rallied in front of Taipei City Hall, calling on the local government to help them negotiate with the company about what they called an unfair payment mechanism. The Taipei Department of Labor said that it had accepted their petition and would help by mediating a labor management dispute resolution meeting. Chen said deliverers are required to collect cash from customers upon delivery, but the company has set a maximum limit of NT$5,000. However, the payments are settled at particular times, and even then it usually takes about an hour, Chen said. Taipei Labor Standards Division Director Chen Kun-hong (陳昆鴻) met with the protesters and received their petition on behalf on the city government.
