Milan, 26 Aug. (LaPresse) – About a month after the trial of the measures proposed by Foodinho srl, the delivery giant that manages Glovo, starting with “a minimum fee of 3 euros per delivery and a minimum gross hourly fee of 14 euros”, the request to revoke judicial control must be rejected and the investigating judge is asked to ask the judicial administrator “to immediately cease the illegal situation in which Foodinho srl operates” with riders still underpaid and treated as employed but not hired workers. This is according to the eight-page opinion of Milan prosecutor Paolo Storari, anticipated by Corriere della Sera, filed with investigating judge Roberto Crepaldi regarding the delivery giant’s request to revoke judicial control. According to the prosecutor, “workers are not paid approximately 30% of their work activity” because the figure of “The 14 euros does not refer to the time it takes to make work energy available, but only to the execution time of the individual delivery” “in contrast to the constant orientation of the case law on the merits which considers the entire availability period between log-in and log-out on the platform as working hours”. “In other words: for more than half of riders, the compensation received in June 2026, in relation to the actual active connection time, is less than the minimum hours that the Company has committed to guaranteeing.”
