Relación jurídica entre plataformas digitales de delivery y sus repartidores.

Abstract

This thesis studies the current employment relationship of those who are dedicated to pick-up and deliver movable property, portraying the role of a courier, doing so through these relatively new and widely popular delivery applications. For this we will have to begin by stablishing basic concepts about labour law, which can be found in Ecuadorian legislation. It will also be necessary to review how these apps came into fruition, mainly because they have self-proclaimed themselves as mere intermediaries, portraying this image to any of their potential clients. Afterwards we will proceed and discuss the legal problem of this work, that develops between alleged autonomous deliverers and their presumed employers, (delivery apps) with the main and final purpose which is to prove whether they share an employment relationship or not.
