  • The delivery company Glovo plans to change its business model, opting for salaried couriers instead of falsely self-employed workers.
  • This shift is a victory of the law against the initial economic model, which relied on exploitation and non-compliance with existing regulations.
  • The decision is made amid fines imposed on Glovo for labor rights and constant challenges to the 'rider law', a law regulating the relationship between these platforms and their workers.
  • Despite threats to leave the country, the change policy is also influenced by similar legislative movements in the EU.
  • The implementation of the change and whether it improves the conditions of the workers are still uncertain for the unions.

Conclusion: Glovo's business model change signals the possibility of an alternative labor approach and highlights the importance of innovative companies complying with labor regulations.
