At 23:30 a.m. on Saturday, a cleaning truck threw a worker who worked for Glovo, and died at the scene. It soon became known that the worker was 22 years old, was Nepalese, worked at night and charged EUR 3 per share. It is later known that he was not officially working for Glovo.

Glovo forces those who want to work for the company to be discharged as self-employed. In the Spanish State, five different judgments have determined that Glovo workers are “false self-employed”, but the company maintains its business model. However, the young Nepali did not have a residence permit, so he could not be discharged from the self-employed. She worked on behalf of and on behalf of another person, whether transferred or rented. Colleagues have pointed out that this is a common situation in which undocumented immigrants are over-exploited. (LIGHTING 241. Larruna has just devoted part of Glovo's experience to the Glovo and Paul Iano work model while working for Glovo)

Protests in Barcelona and Bilbao

On Sunday, 26, the young man’s colleagues protested at the seat of the Glovo in Barcelona. They denounce that Glovo's precariousness and working model have killed his partner, and that it was a matter of time to give him such an accident. The protesters left the flowers in tribute to the deceased, cut off the road with their work bikes and set fire to several Glovo backpacks. They also tried to enter the company's headquarters, but they were intercepted by the Mossos d'Esquadra and by the National Police. The following day, demonstrators returned to the streets in Barcelona to participate in the demonstration.

The protests have spread to several cities in the Spanish State, where several injuries have been reported. As far as Euskal Herria is concerned, a concentration was held in Bilbao on Monday. “Precariousness kills us. Glovo kills us. Dozens of people have concentrated behind the banner with the slogan “Your Millions Killed”. The protest was called by the Association of Distributors Den Xderechos, Eragin (Bilbao Precarized Youth Assembly) and Glovo workers.
