Spain: Glovo riders go on strike as unions warn new legislation is not doing enough to protect gig workers' rights

"Glovo riders go on strike as European gig workers rise up", 27 August 2021

Glovo riders and dark store workers go on strike in Barcelona today, demanding improvements to working conditions and higher pay from the Spanish quick delivery startup.

Workers, organised by the CCOO and CGT Riders unions, are calling for better insurance for accidents, maternity and paternity pay, increased hourly rates during times of high-demand or bad weather and the option of employment for any worker that wants it.
