Description
The Anglo-Dutch online food delivery platform Just Eat has announced that it will lay off 117 couriers in Paris by September 2024.
The company launched its own delivery service at the beginning of 2021, using employees under permanent contracts, hourly wages, and income guarantees - a unique approach in a sector typically dominated by independent contractor models. Just Eat France states that it is no longer in a position to exploit its delivery system on a large scale in Paris because the French market is in favour of an independent model. The move does not affect the rest of the activities in France, since the platform (10,000 addresses) is delivered by caterers themselves and, to a lesser extent, by start-up Stuart.
Just Eat is part of the Anglo-Dutch group Just Eat Takeaway.
A previous restructuring event of Just Eat in France was recorded in the ERM events database in 2022 JUST EAT-2022-FR.

The Paris Administrative Court has annulled the job-saving plan put forward by Just Eat as the company signed a collective agreement in November 2022. Following the previous large restructuring, Just Eat agreed it could not put in place a new redundancy procedure for economic reasons for two years starting December 21.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
