(ANSA) – ROME, MAY 09 – From human to trade union struggle, ‘Quo vadis rider’ (Futura Editrice, pp. 233) is the investigative book dedicated to riders and their battles for dignity. Born almost by chance to tell the lucky experience of judicial policy carried out by the three categories of the CGIL always engaged alongside the riders in their fight, the book tells of the commitment on the field of two lawyers Maria Matilde Bidetti and Sergio Vacirca, and a professor University Carlo De Marchis Gomez.
The events and episodes of judicial news scroll through the pages, the impact of the union’s initiatives on the understanding of the gig economy, the public service carried out during the months of the pandemic and the daily problems that workers encounter in daily life. An in-depth work that tells of a now very deep-rooted reality, as explained by the preface by the confederal secretary of the CGIL Tania Scacchetti and the introduction by Filippo Ceccarelli who tells us how Italy can boast for this reason also a record included among the Guinness: Francesco Ruffino, a name that perhaps may not say anything to many but who in fact at 38 is the rider who has made the most deliveries in the world.
Between judgments and contracts, media horizons and testimonies in flesh and blood, the book’s objectives are to raise awareness, both individual and collective, on what has become and is likely to become the work of cyclists. As demonstrated and summarized by the photographic insert by Luciano Del Castillo on the working conditions of the riders: first tireless riders, by bike or scooter, after exhausted people, sitting or lying on benches or makeshift steps.
“A lot of road has been traveled by riders since the idea of this book was born. Much more will have to be traveled – reads between the pages – before giving full dignity to these workers who represent the avant-garde of new models born. from digital capitalism “. (HANDLE).
