Italian Prosecutors Place Deliveroo and Glovo Units Under Judicial Supervision Over Labor Practices

Italian prosecutors have placed the Italian units of Deliveroo and Glovo under judicial supervision over allegations of labor exploitation of delivery riders. Investigations revealed riders earning wages significantly below poverty levels despite working long hours. Courts have ordered these companies to regularise workers and comply with labor laws, but riders and lawyers report ongoing harsh conditions. Deliveroo and Glovo have stated they are cooperating with authorities. These actions follow earlier rulings and EU directives aimed at improving gig workers' rights.
