Delivery company Glovo held a weekly giveaway to encourage its deliverers to compete among themselves during the World Cup in Qatar. While the firm condemns the deaths of 6,000 workers during the stadium construction, it uses the international event commercially to promote itself. “Yes to football, no to exploitation”, according to the website.
Between World Cup celebrations November 20 and December 18 It is expected to generate high activity among home delivery platforms. A few games that promise to translate into an increase in orders in major cities, almost every day for a month. To meet this high demand, Glovo sent a message to distributors registered in its application this Friday, encouraging them to sign up and challenge during the month of the world championships to claim the prizes.
The platform requires the maximum number of “drivers” to be operational during game hours. And while the company keeps them self-employed, it can’t offer them a paycheck or force them to work during those times. Solution? Glovo’sgamified‘ Deliveries during sports competition create a competition between dealers. It’s a common practice among newer platforms that aim to increase employee productivity by presenting tasks as a game.
“about speedof the precision. Giving orders instead of goals. Do you have what it takes to win the deliverers championship?” Glovo writes to its “riders.” In the same message that the company encourages “riders” to fulfill orders as soon as possible, the company also offers insurance for the self-employed in the event of an accident or damage to third parties. “Gives you the peace of mind you deserve every day,” the ad reads.
Glovo is a home delivery app with almost no hired couriers. Although the law establishes that all digital platform distributors must be hired as an employee unless the company can prove they are self-employed and control all of their operations themselves, their “riders” are operating as self-employed. . Something neither the Supreme Court nor the Labor Inspectorate has ever thought occurred in the Glovo case. And because the company has received multiple sanctions and requirements, it has exceeded all of them and to date € 151.3 million.
‘Drivers’, while working on their own account, must pay for the insurance themselves, in the absence of, inter alia, Glovo-promoted accidents, vehicles, mobile phones and paid vacations.
