The history of the riders continues its course and this comes from the hand of Glovo. Since the Rider Law was officially released on August 12, and since the Spanish unicorn announced the system it would use to deal with its distributors, the controversy has not ceased. More specifically with the Glovo rates, which have again undergone a review by the stays of the riders.
The company announced, hours before Deliveroo confirmed that it was leaving Spain, the launch of “an unprecedented model.” A system of riders completely autonomous that took the sector by surprise. According to the company, these could set their prices – both up and down – and would be completely free to manage your work within the application.
Without too many details of how this model was going to be managed, the first surprise for the group was to know the lowest rates. 0.7, 0.8 and 0.9 were the cause of the controversy. Auction prices that put the collection fee below the minimum; reaching its highest point at 1.3. It was a low blow that the collective of riders it was not taken too well as it added to the lowering of the base rate. Glovo’s rates went from 2.80 to 1.30 euros as a base. On this, the multiplier in question would act.
Since then, several demonstrations of riders have happened to try to change these Glovo rates. Now, and as it advances The Daily Jump, Glovo has made the decision to remove the lowest multipliers from the list. All those below 1 are from now on excluded.
In addition, CGT Riders, trade union of professionals delivery and catalysts of the latest protests against the new rates, confirms that Glovo has backed down with its multipliers. Mainly after the complaints of the last days.
From the group they point out, in any case, that they are working to continue improving working conditions and coverage under a collective agreement. One of which, for now, has only given signs of life from the hand of Just Eat with CC.OO. and UGT, and of which they want to have something closed before the end of the year.
