Colombian delivery apps reached a preliminary deal guaranteeing social security payments for 120,000 workers, as the government of President Gustavo Petro seeks to boost workers’ rights.
The deal could see delivery companies including Rappi Inc. pay 60% of their workers’ health and pension contributions even while remaining independent contractors, according to an agreement between Colombia’s government and AlianzaIn, which represents Rappi, Didi and others, the group’s director José Daniel López said.
