The creators of the Glovo, Deliveroo, Ubereats and Stuart food delivery companies have called for new employment legislation in Spain which accounts for these new working models and would replace the regulation by judge rulings that is taking place at present. José Luis Zimmerman, director general of the professional association for companies operating in the digital economy, Adigital, is proposing a model similar to that which is being discussed in France. This approach seeks to outline the responsibilities of all parties, whereby platforms offer more protection to their workers without them being considered employees. In its recently-tabled bill, the French government demands that platforms draw up a charter, which would be an annex to service contracts, setting out the rules governing how workers are put in contact with users, means of ensuring that workers are given a decent income for what they do and that they are able to develop professional skills, professional risk prevention measures, and guarantees that would apply if a contract between a platform and a worker is broken. The text also specifies that creating the charter and respecting the relevant commitments does not entail a link of “legal subordination” between a platform and its workers.
