The Ford government has moved to cap the fees charged by food delivery companies.
Starting today, companies such as Uber Eats, DoorDash and SkipTheDishes will be limited to charging 20 per cent for each transaction with no more than 15 per cent commission for food delivery services.
Some delivery apps charge restaurants upwards of 30 per cent for delivery service.
“The cap applies in areas where indoor dining is prohibited, to help restaurants stay in business and continue contributing to their communities. If indoor dining is prohibited in new regions, the cap will also apply in those locations,” read a statement released by the government.
Full text of statement issued by Canadian Union of Postal Workers reads as follows:-
Farmers in India are rising to protest three new laws adopted in their country that have important ramifications for the average Indian farmer. Essentially, this set of bills eases restrictions on corporate interests like those of Monsanto and penalizes millions of small independent farmers in the process.
In a historic push to protest these laws, hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers and their global allies are marching against this government-backed, corporate takeover of agriculture in India.
The ongoing neoliberal agenda of the corporate elite is stripping away the rights of working people globally, but nowhere is the fight back more obvious than in India right now, and the world is watching.
