Abstract
Starting from the examination of some measures to protect riders recently promoted by the Tuscany Region, the paper reconstructs the phenomenon of inequalities in food delivery services, within which work, health and racial inequalities are traced. Through qualitative research based on the analysis of regional documents and on discursive interviews with the social partners, it is hypothesized that this set of inequalities constitutes a system on which digital platforms have founded their economic success.
