UGT prosecutional denounces Glovos fatal rider accident: UGT will denounce Glovo before the Prosecutor's Office after the fatal accident of one of its 'riders'.

UGT filed a complaint Thursday before the Barcelona Prosecutor's Office against Glovo for crimes against the rights of workers, after a deliveryman of the company was rolled last Saturday in Barcelona by a garbage truck, causing his death .

The union will urge the Prosecutor's Office to open an investigation to reach "the true culprits" of this accident, which for UGT is a consequence of "a purely speculative and exploitative business model that kills and seriously harms the health of delivery workers."

In addition, the union has appealed to the Government to "act and resolve this avenging situation of permanent irregularity", considering this employment relationship as an employee and not as self-employed.

UGT has recalled that in the course of the last two years of complaints to this type of platforms alleging "precariousness and labor exploitation" have obtained four judgments in two courts of the Social of Madrid that determined that the distributors of Glovo are employees under the provincial parcel and logistics agreement of Madrid and, in addition, they are full-time.

For the union, the worker who died on Saturday was a person who suffered "the subcontracting of precariousness". "Glovo, with its business model, takes advantage of many workers who, because of their irregular administrative situation, are especially vulnerable and become victims of genuine exploitation," UGT argues in a statement.

For his part, Glovo already stated that the delivery man was not a collaborator of the company, although the fact that he carried a Glovo backpack "suggests" that he might be using a third party's account.
