The two processes open to the distribution company Glovo in Barcelona and Valencia have culminated with the first millionaire fine to a distribution company, for not having hired distributors and working as fake self-employed, according to the radio SER on Wednesday morning.

It has a staff of 10,614 people (8,331 in Barcelona and 2,283 in Valencia) and Glovo has worked as a fake self-employed. Although the Spanish Government approved the Rider Act a year ago, the multinational has subsequently not regularized its situation, as the SER chain has known. The distribution of the fines is as follows: Between EUR 24 and 5 million are to pay the social security contributions that would have to be paid if those workers were on payroll, and the other EUR 50 million as a penalty.

Following the doctrine established by the judgment of the Supreme Court, the Labour Inspectorate has pointed out that Glovo is not merely an intermediary in the procurement of services between retailers and distributors, but provides distribution and courier services, setting the essential conditions for its provision.

The folletín of Glovo and the other companies has been very deficient since the Supreme Court's ruling was known and the Rider Act was later passed. The company that characterises the yellow boxes refused to regularize the distributors, keeping them as false self-employed. As a result, other distribution companies denounced Glovo’s unfair competition.

In March of this year, Uber Eats sent a letter to the Spanish Minister of Labor, Yolanda Díaz, in which she threatened to return to the modality of hiring false self-employed if she did not comply with the law to all companies in the sector, with a clear reference to Glovo. At the end of June, Just Eat also stated that “companies operating outside the law” were publicly denounced, putting Glovo on the verge of going.
