78% Informative

Food couriers in Finland are calling for improved pay and working conditions.

Wolt began changing its payment policies about two years ago , prompting objections from couriers.

The company won a landmark case at an administrative court earlier this year , in a ruling that found its couriers should be viewed as entrepreneurs, not employees.

All three companies reported losses for 2023 , and operate in fiercely competitive markets.

Statistics Finland says 130,000 people performed some kind of app-based work in the country at least once during 2022 .

The amount of work, and the amount of money it's possible to earn, depends on a number of uncontrollable factors.
