This is the first time I hear this stated as a fact rather than a theory, where has this been confirmed to be happening exactly?

- pseudo0 3y agoThe NYT article doesn't even mention organized crime, just French delivery workers subcontracting out their deliveries. It is sort of an ironic twist on the independent contractor vs. employee debate: > French labor law allows independent contractors to outsource to legal workers, but Uber Eats, Stuart and Glovo said they prohibited subcontracting.
