AFPMore than a hundred cyclists working for food delivery company Deliveroo gathered on Sunday in Paris, Bordeaux, Nantes and Lyon to protest changes to their salary. French riders working for the food delivery company Deliveroo, one of the stars of the new "gig" economy, have staged protests to complain about changes to their pay. Britain's Deliveroo has switched all its riders from August 27 to the same contract in which they are paid per delivery -- between 5.0-5.75 euros -- rather than an hourly rate. The leaders of the Deliveroo protests are demanding 7.5 euros per delivery and a guaranteed minimum of two deliveries per hour. It partners with restaurants that do not have delivery services, charges the customer a small delivery charge and takes a commission from the restaurant.
