FOOD delivery riders for the app Foodpanda scored a victory after the National Labor Relations Commission in Central Visayas ruled that they are employees of the platform.According to Tepi Claros, legal counsel for the 18 rider complainants, the NLRC’s Sept. 17, 2024 ruling confirms an employer-employee relationship between the riders and the company, directly challenging Foodpanda’s classification of its workers as independent contractors.
Still, we will fight for our rights, and we will continue to pursue our case, even if it goes all the way to the Supreme Court,” said Abraham Monticalbo, Jr., one of the riders.Claros said the NLRC ruling could set a precedent for the entire rider community.Claros said the case has several key points, including that shift scheduling is not optional for the riders and that the company unilaterally updates acceptance rates and special hours.
