EGSO organizira virtualnu izložbu fotografija francuskog fotografa Frédérica Stucina, na kojima se dostavljači hrane prikazuju kao prepoznatljiv motiv današnjeg gradskog života i novi oblik zapošljavanja kojim se često zaobilaze europski propisi o zdravlju i sigurnosti radnika.
Izložba obuhvaća seriju od 20 fotografija dostavljača koji razvoze hranu za Uber Eats, Deliveroo i druge slične platforme.
„Dostavljači jure gradom danju i noću, na biciklima i skuterima, i podsjećaju me na legendarne jahače koji su u SAD-u dostavljali poštu za Pony Express“, rekao je Frédéric Stucin.
Fotografije prikazuju i teške uvjete u kojima rade: vani su po svim vremenskim uvjetima, čekaju pred restoranima, sami plaćaju prijevoz i kazne, nose se s bezobzirnim platformama i zahtjevnim klijentima, prihvaćaju rizik od nesreće.
Platforme za koje rade govore o fleksibilnosti i slobodi u izboru radnog vremena, ali mnogi od tih radnika lišeni su brojnih osnovnih radničkih prava. Postignut je određen napredak i neke platforme sada nude malo bolje uvjete, a sami radnici počinju uspostavljati mehanizme uzajamne potpore.
„Ovim slikama htio sam odati počast hrabrim ljudima koji zaslužuju naše poštovanje“, kaže Stucin.
Fotografijama se skreće pozornost na probleme s kojima se susreće to rastuće mnoštvo atipičnih radnika, usporedno s mišljenjem EGSO-a o socijalnom dijalogu kao instrumentu koji doprinosi zdravlju i sigurnosti na radu, o kojem će se raspravljati na siječanjskom plenarnom zasjedanju.
Izložba prati francusko predsjedanje Vijećem EU-a, a trajat će od 15. siječnja do 15. veljače 2022. Pogledajte je OVDJE. (ck)
