Glovo’s decision to hire approximately 15,000 riders marks a significant turnaround in response to labor rights pressures, moving from a self-employed model to employment.
The shift to hire riders full-time aims to mitigate legal uncertainties and complies with the 2021 Spanish labor reform that classifies gig workers as employees.
Spanish labor minister Yolanda Díaz emphasized that companies like Glovo believed they could operate outside the law, underscoring the push for accountability within the gig economy.
Glovo's CEO Oscar Pierre is facing legal challenges over alleged labor law breaches, highlighting the broader implications of labor rights in the delivery sector.
