Oscar Pierre, co-founder and CEO of Spanish delivery platform Glovo, has been ordered to stand trial by a judge who concluded that his decisions "undermined and suppressed the rights" of the company's couriers. The case centres on allegations that Glovo falsely classified its delivery workers as self-employed contractors rather than employees, a practice that has drawn regulatory scrutiny across Europe. The trial marks a significant legal moment for the gig economy, as it places personal criminal-level accountability on a prominent tech founder over labour classification practices.
