Davide Arcidiacono, Francesco Bonifacio and Ivana Pais present the third initiative of Part III in Chapter 9, ‘Consegne Etiche: the ethical platform for food delivery’. The experience of Consegne Etiche (Ethical Delivery), a cooperative of home-delivery services founded in Bologna, constitutes an alternative model to multinational platforms to provide a solution to the condition of riders and generate positive political pressure to transform the sector of urban logistics. The authors argue that unlike other experiences of solidarity building, the case of Bologna displays a remarkable synergy between the local administration and informal unions as the cooperative was promoted by the Municipality of Bologna with the collaboration of the Riders Union Bologna movement. This initiative embodies a more advanced step in the process of collaboration around the rights of delivery workers, moving from implementing reactive strategies of resistance towards the promotion of an ethical alternative adopting the cooperative model.

Abstract
Davide Arcidiacono, Francesco Bonifacio and Ivana Pais present the third initiative of Part III in Chapter 9, ‘Consegne Etiche: the ethical platform for food delivery’. The experience of Consegne Etiche (Ethical Delivery), a cooperative of home-delivery services founded in Bologna, constitutes an alternative model to multinational platforms to provide a solution to the condition of riders and generate positive political pressure to transform the sector of urban logistics. The authors argue that unlike other experiences of solidarity building, the case of Bologna displays a remarkable synergy between the local administration and informal unions as the cooperative was promoted by the Municipality of Bologna with the collaboration of the Riders Union Bologna movement. This initiative embodies a more advanced step in the process of collaboration around the rights of delivery workers, moving from implementing reactive strategies of resistance towards the promotion of an ethical alternative adopting the cooperative model.
