Glovo boss one step away from trial for employing delivery workers as false self-employed.

A court in Barcelona has all but sentenced Glovo's CEO, Óscar Pierre, for a crime against workers' rights. The company has been accused of employing false self-employed workers despite court rulings ordering it to hire them as employees. The judge has finished investigating the case, which was opened after a complaint from the Public Prosecutor's Office, and has given parties 10 days to present their arguments before sending the case to trial.

Glovo's practice of classifying workers as self-employed has been deemed to undermine their rights, including those related to salary, working hours, and social security benefits.
