"Together with councilor Marco Granelli – said councilor Cappello – we discussed the possibility of carrying out road safety courses specifically for riders in a short time and in collaboration with the local police. We consider this intervention a priority together with the Italian courses and the opportunity to direct these workers to training and reskilling courses carried out with the Municipality and AFOL. We share with the councilors and the unions the need to convene the representatives of the delivery companies around a table in order to raise awareness of putting in place. provision of refreshment and service areas for these workers".

"The riders – highlighted the councilor – were fundamental during the pandemic period, constituting a service for the whole city. We know that the issue of work concerns primarily the Government and the Region, which have the tools to introduce real changes , but also know that Milan can send an important signal of inclusion and innovation on this issue too. I thank all the councilors for bringing the points we discussed today to the attention of the Council and on which I confirm our commitment".
