” As well as along with that, we want to be properly paid, not always regularly per distribution. I am paid by the hr at Takeaway, yet others are paid per distribution. Often they obtain simply EUR5 per distribution for doing 2, 3, or 4 kilometres which’s simply not lasting.”
Profession unions wish to place an end to “phony self-employment”.

As well as we need to ask the system firms to verify the scenario.

If they are actually independent, after that they can be freelance, yet it can not remain in between,” he included.
