S0 / A07 Magalí Gurman (Glovo): 'The flexibility of the platform economy does not exclude good working conditions'

Magalí Gurman (Glovo)

The main discussion about delivery via platforms is about whether such a platform should employ the couriers. After all, in many Western countries, things like safety and fair pay are linked to an employment contract. But this is far from common everywhere. Therefore, platforms are looking for ways to offer riders better conditions regardless of their employment status. One such platform company is Glovo.

For The Gig Work Podcast from the WageIndicator Foundation, platform expert Martijn Arets travelled to Barcellona and sat down with Magalí Gurman, Institutional affairs & government relations at Glovo.

The interview’s highlights can also be found in a blog at Gigpedia.org.

The Gig Work Podcast is available at Apple Podcasts, Springcast, Google, Spotify, Stitcher, Pandora, and Pocket Casts.
