Motoboys suspend strike after dialogue with government – 01/17/2023 – Mônica Bergamo

Autonomous motoboys decided to suspend this Tuesday (17) a stoppage of delivery services by apps scheduled for next week. The measure was taken after a meeting between leaders of the movement and the secretary of Solidarity Economy, Gilberto Carvalho.

Speaking to couriers, Carvalho said that meeting the demands of the category, which includes regulating work by application, is considered a priority by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). The agendas discussed during the meeting will be taken to the PT on Wednesday (18).

The talks, held in São Paulo, gathered around 15 people. One of the proposals presented was the creation of a working group to think about new proposals for the working model.

“We are going to suspend the demonstration because we managed to dialogue with the government. He [o secretário Gilberto Carvalho] promised that he will set up a working group, with us involved, and asked for a well-assembled plan to present to President Lula”, says Jr. Freitas, director of the Application Deliverers Alliance (AEA) and leader of the movement in São Paulo .

Freitas says he is optimistic about the possibility of claiming rights through the law and the Ministry of Labor. “Applications have been on the market for almost ten years and have never been able to solve all the problems. Through the government, we have more concrete support”, says the self-employed delivery man.

“We remain open to dialogue, whatever application it may be, but now we have this door open”, he says.
