DAVAO CITY – The National Labor and Relations Commission 8th Division affirmed the decision of the Labor Arbiter holding Foodpanda Philippines Inc. liable for illegally dismissing seven delivery riders who were declared as “regular workers.
Edmund Carillo, president of Davao United Delivery Riders Association Inc. and one of the complainants in the illegal dismissal case lodged against Foodpanda, said that the decision of NRLC is “an affirmation to us, that our struggles and our contributions amid the pandemic are seen.” It added that withdrawal of access to the Rider App is “punitive disciplinary measure rather than a preventive measure.”
Such control is exercised by the company in designing and controlling the scheduling of their work, employing a rating system, evaluating the riders’ weekly performance, and monitoring the activities of its riders, among others. “The list of stringent rules that its riders must comply with under the pain of troublesome penalties are certainly an exercise of the power of control. These algorithmic punishments are badges of the power of control and discipline through the use of modern technology,” it said.
