The court's decision confirms that the electoral process complied with the law and supports the legal and union legitimacy of the Works Council elected by the employees. Last year, the first union elections among Glovo delivery drivers were held in several Spanish territories, such as Navarre. In Álava, these took place on March 27, 2026, with 13 employee representatives elected, all of whom were part of the CCOO candidacy.

Glovo, the leading delivery platform, is facing a climate of maximum labor tension after formalizing an Employment Regulation File (ERE) aimed at terminating the contracts of up to 750 workers in nearly 60 cities across the State. This move comes just one year after the company began the mass employment of its fleet to adapt to the Rider Law, a process that unions now describe as 'failed' and 'strategic'.

The core of the conflict lies in the interpretation of the model's viability. While Glovo justifies the layoffs due to a lack of structural profitability in medium and small-sized cities, the unions, led by CCOO, have taken the case to the National Court. They allege that the company is using the ERE to dismantle its direct workforce and return to a subcontracting model through external fleets, which they consider a disguised legal fraud.

The response in the streets has been swift. Following the strike days in late April, the collective of delivery drivers continues its struggle with demonstrations denouncing 'union persecution' and an automated disciplinary regime that, according to those affected, arbitrarily punishes waiting times and technical incidents with the application. In Álava, as in the rest of the territory, the conflict is being closely watched, as the outcome of this legal battle will shape the future of labor conditions in the platform economy.
