El juez sienta en el banquillo a Oscar Pierre, cofundador de Glovo, por mantener a falsos autónomos

A judge in Barcelona has decided to place Oscar Pierre, co-founder of Glovo, on the dock in order to open an oral trial against him for allegedly treating subcontractors as false autonomous workers. Judge Luis Martínez Duran believes Pierre's decisions "undermined and suppressed" the rights of the application's delivery workers, as the company kept them as false autonomous workers despite legal rulings that required them to be employed by a third party.

The judge's report, obtained by EL PAÍS, opposes dismissing the case as Pierre's defense requested, and demands the prosecution and the CGT union (acting as the plaintiff in two delivery workers' cases) present their accusation papers to bring Pierre to trial after more than two years of investigation. The crime he will be tried for could result in between six months and six years in prison.
