Glovo Launches ERE in Spain to Cut 750 Delivery Workers in 60 Localities

The company says the move follows a shift to salaried riders that reduced flexibility, degrading service in smaller cities.

Overview

  • Glovo notified worker representatives at midday Wednesday, opening a formal consultation under Spain’s collective layoff process.
  • The proposal targets roughly 5% of its Spanish rider workforce, with reported fleet totals ranging from about 14,000 direct employees to 21,000 including contractors.
  • Management cites a review of business sustainability and declining service quality as the rationale for the restructuring.
  • The planned reductions would span around 60 locations, with areas cited including Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, Málaga, Las Palmas, Gipuzkoa, Ceuta and Melilla.
  • The company says the 750 figure is provisional, with the final number and geographic allocation to be set through negotiations.
