The German company Delivery Hero, owner of Glovo, has questioned Glovo's continued operation in Spain due to the costs that would be incurred by the fines imposed on its work model and the reclassification of its delivery drivers as employees rather than self-employed. The company made this clear in its first-quarter earnings report, published this Thursday.

The last meeting before the final proposal to regulate the work of delivery riders has ended without a formal agreement, but with the approval of all parties involved to turn them into salaried employees. "There is enough consensus to acknowledge the fact that they are employees," say sources from the Ministry of Labour. "The novelty is that the business organisations are agreeing to the fact that they are employees", the unions agree. This would seem to indicate that delivery riders will become salaried workers by law.
