    • Abstract:
      Uber, Bolt, and Free Now have agreed to increase the minimum wage for drivers in France ahead of new European Union regulations aimed at protecting gig workers. Drivers will now receive a minimum of €9 per trip and a guaranteed income of at least €30 per hour and €1 per kilometer. The agreement defends the self-employment model used by gig economy apps while also addressing workers' demands for better conditions. The EU deal may require companies like Uber and Bolt to classify riders as employees if they meet certain conditions. New York recently implemented a minimum wage for delivery drivers, resulting in higher initial earnings but also measures taken by platforms to offset costs. [Extracted from the article]
