First ruling admitting that Glovo workers are false self-employed
After the ruling of a week ago, now a court in Madrid recognizes that these delivery people have a working relationship with the company
For the first time a ruling recognizes that a distributor of the home delivery platform Glovo is a false self-employed and has an employment relationship with the company, according to a statement from UGT that refers to the ruling of the Court of Social No. 33 of Madrid. This is the first sentence in this regard, after just one week ago another Madrid court ruled in favor of the Catalan company, pointing out that the distributors are autonomous.
In that case, the reason for the workers' complaint was that, after suffering an accident and being a few months out, Glovo sent him a notice notifying him that he rescinded his services without receiving compensation. In this new case, it was a demand from a delivery boy who had been fired for participating in a spontaneous strike in September by the Glovo delivery drivers to demand improvements in their working conditions.
After recognizing the employment relationship, the judgment qualifies the dismissal as null because it was the result of the exercise by the distributor of their fundamental rights to strike and freedom of expression.
It is a sentence "favorable for workers", valued UGT, after the two previous rulings contrary to this criterion. The text analyzes the new reality of productive activity through new technologies and digital platforms and concludes by accepting UGT's argument that the work relationship of the distributors is labor, applying in its entirety to labor standards and of Social Security proper to salaried work.
The union, which recalled that this sentence joins other two more won in Belgium against Deliveroo, said that now will focus on the collective dispute raised in the National Court and the ex officio procedures of the Social Security Treasury against Deliveroo and Glovo
