The Spanish union CC OO has raised alarms regarding working conditions at Glovo, claiming that the company has engaged in anti-union practices and unjustly sanctioned and dismissed union representatives. These actions are seen as retaliation against labor representatives involved in ongoing union elections across various provinces in Spain. The situation has escalated following an intervention by Italian authorities, who had previously criticized Glovo for exploiting its workforce, which has now led to accusations of a campaign of harassment against workers involved in union activities in Spain.

Workers affiliated with CC OO report an environment of extreme hostility and systematic harassment as they strive to establish fair representation within the company. They allege that Glovo is actively pursuing employees who are participating in these union processes, leading to a climate of fear among employees and dissuasion of collective action. The case highlights the ongoing struggle between labor unions and gig economy companies like Glovo, as unions seek to assert workers' rights in sectors that are often resistant to collective bargaining.

Additionally, CC OO has pointed to indications of a hidden Employment Regulation File (ERE), citing a pattern of daily and weekly dismissals across Glovo's operations in Spain. This raises concerns about the potential downsizing of the workforce under the guise of operational adjustments, further complicating the relationship between management and employees. The situation warrants close attention as it underscores the broader issues of workers’ rights and corporate accountability in the fast-evolving gig economy.
