Glovo is accused of having kept the company's distributors working on the streets during the October 3 storm

The CCOO union has filed a complaint against Glovo and the Fliits subcontract, which, despite the weather alert, kept the distributors active on 3 October, and has therefore asked the Inspectorate to investigate the conditions under which Glovo served that day.

In a statement, the union's Federation of Citizen Services in the Basque Country has described the events as "particularly serious" because the distributors worked in conditions that could "seriously endanger" their physical integrity.

In this regard, CCOO has asked the Inspectorate to examine the instructions received by the staff, theprotocols  put in place by both companies  and thepreventive measurestaken  to conclude whether or not there has been a breach.

The union has argued that outsourcing cannot "relieve or undermine the protection" of workers and that the decision to endanger their physical integrity cannot be made by the operator himself.

For all these reasons, they urge Glovo and Fliits to implement "clear and effective" procedures , such as adjusting or suspending activity when weather conditions endanger safety, and that no one be pressured or retaliated against for refusing a distribution that poses a risk.

That Saturday, October 3, Euskalmet issued alert  orange until midnight due to heavy rainsand floods in Bizkaia. On that day, there were about 150 incidents across the territory.
