In a move prompted by legal pressure, Glovo announced six months ago its intention to reform the employment status of numerous workers categorized as false self-employed. Yet, the progression towards fulfilling this commitment appears stagnant.

Moreover, the company has reportedly resorted to a subcontracting strategy to circumvent direct employment obligations. According to allegations submitted by the labor union CC OO to the Labor Inspectorate, Glovo established a proxy entity to facilitate the hiring of these misclassified workers, further complicating the issue.

The ongoing saga highlights the challenges faced by gig economy platforms in addressing labor rights and the complexities of employment classification under current regulatory frameworks. As stakeholders await tangible actions, the future of labor relations within gig economies remains uncertain.
