Glovo riders on strike in Palermo, no deliveries. “It’s only the beginning”

by time news

AGI – Fury rider. I Glovo couriers go on strike for a whole day and refrain from deliveries and all work services in Palermo. It’s just the beginning, they warn. Three principals take off at the same time in Piazza Castelnuovo, at the Notarbartolo Station and at the Agip Motel Drive in front of the McDonald’s offices.

The day of protest follows the state of agitation proclaimed last week to denounce the loss of earnings of approximately 20 percent (starting from when the agreement between Ugl and Assodelivery was signed), which resulted in some of the lowest fees in Italy for the riders in Palermo.

The workers also denounced difficulties related to the use of the application, for facial recognition, a recently introduced procedure that involves daily identification with a selfie.

It often happens, due to trivial system errors or problems related to the different appearance of a worker compared to the photo of the personal document, that the identity of the courier is not recognized. Riders are also blocked for two weeks. Following the Palermo protest, Glovo’s couriers also announced a state of agitation in other Italian cities.

“The strike was called because no answers were received from the company – says general secretary Nidil Cgil Palermo Andrea Gattuso – During the weekend, the problems reported continued, starting with the lowering of tariffs passing through all the problems due to the attestation of identity for facial recognition. It is impossible for workers to have technical assistance, because the only comparison with the company that does not have a physical location is a chat bot “.

The goal is “to send a clear signal – adds Gattuso – so that Glovo really takes care of the daily problems that workers face working for many hours amidst the dangers of the road, the scorching heat and the risks associated with the pandemic. We do not rule out that the strike may continue and that the mobilizations continue until comprehensive responses are given “.
