Daily report — Coursiers in Switzerland, mobilisations in France and electricity negotiations: 10 November

Information — Report of 10 November 2026.

Just Eat: the status of couriers at the centre of the debate

In Switzerland, Just Eat announced the abolition of 373 courier positions and plans to use independents, Watson reports. The count distinguishes 193 persons employed directly and 180 by claimants. The media presents this change as legally challenged, without providing in the extract of a judicial decision allowing the matter to be decided. [S52]

Watson points out that not all couriers see it as a disadvantage; The evidence developed, however, is about a deliverer Uber Eats, not about all the employees concerned. In Ticino, Ticinonline reports an inquiry by the PS-GISO and FA group asking the government to clarify wage and social protection. Details of future contracts and their effect on income remain unspecified in these excerpts. [S52] [S87]

Energy installations: protection to be strengthened

According to RTS Info, the Confederation is preparing a new legal basis to strengthen the protection of energy installations against sabotage and drone attacks. As the military could not protect the entire network, electricity suppliers would be called upon to strengthen their own devices. It is a piece of legislation, not a new obligation, which would already come into force. [S12]

The extract does not specify the means envisaged or their financing. Nor can it determine which powers would be granted to operators. The actual distribution of obligations between authorities and undertakings therefore remains to be specified in the available elements. [S12]

Neuchâtel consults on maturity in four years

The Conseil d'État Neuchâtelois consulted a reform providing for gymnastic maturity in four years from 2032, Le Temps reports. Four access routes are proposed: after 10am or 11am, with direct admission to each level based on academic achievement or an admission by examination. The scheme is not presented as definitively adopted. [S13]

Minister Crystel Graf defends a project to improve success and equality of opportunity. These are the announced objectives, not the results already measured. Time also mentions union opposition, without developing its arguments in the extract. It is therefore not sufficient to fully expose disagreements on the courses offered to students. [S13]

France: journalists mobilize and complain

Franceinfo reports that the Ministry of National Education estimates that on Tuesday the share of strikers is 1.55 %. The same extract gives the police prefecture a figure of nearly 6,000 people in the Parisian procession. These data do not measure the same thing: one concerns staff at the national level, the other concerns participants at a local event. [S65]

At the same time, Liberation reports a collective complaint of about ten journalists denouncing police violence during demonstrations, with the support of a press union. The media reports that Reporters Without Borders has recorded more than 40 victims since the beginning of the protests, not on this day alone; the scope and method of this census are not specified in the extract. Charges are not judicially established; the response of the security forces is not provided. [S62]

Cyberattack: Paris accuses, Tehran denies

According to Deutsche Welle, France does not exclude any response to a cyber attack on supermarket refrigeration equipment. Iran rejects the French accusations of the involvement of the Revolutionary Guards, which it considers unfounded and unilateral. The extract does not provide any technical evidence of attribution: it makes it possible to report the dispute, but does not designate the person responsible independently. Neither the extent of the damage nor any health consequences are documented. [S81]

Israel: Forming a Government Without an Acquired Majority

Franceinfo describes a political battle between Gadi Eisenkot, who is responsible for forming a government, and outgoing Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, neither of the two camps having a majority. The extract does not establish that a coalition agreement has been reached or that a government has been formed. [S5]

Morning reports a call by Benyamin Netanyahu to the national union against what he describes as an Iranian existential threat, as well as a very critical judgment of Gadi Eisenkot on his speech. These assessments belong to the protagonists. The available evidence does not give the conditions for any reconciliation or outcome of the negotiations. [S76]

Electricity: London and five EU countries set conditions

Euronews reports that Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Luxembourg and the Netherlands wish to condition the energy rapprochement with the United Kingdom with a contribution to European regional funds before the 20 November summit. This request from five countries is not presented as a final decision of the European Union. [S83]

In The Guardian, Minister Hamish Falconer said he was willing to discuss UK funding for infrastructure projects in the less-favoured regions of the EU and planned discussions after this month's summit. However, London did not accept the principle of a link between access to the electricity market and contribution to the Cohesion Fund. No amount, agreement or effect on consumer invoices shall be established in these extracts. [S19]
