Overview

• Glovo’s tiered heat bonus applied from July 1 to August 31 offered a 2%–8% uplift on delivery fees for temperatures above 32 °C but amounted to only a few cents per order.
• The bonus payments are scheduled for September 21, delaying support when immediate access to sunscreen, water and mineral salts is most critical.
• CGIL and Felsa Cisl criticized the scheme as an unsafe incentive to work in extreme heat, asserting that no payment can justify hazardous conditions.
• Piedmont and other regions extended midday heat‐risk ordinances to delivery riders, suspending outdoor shifts during peak temperatures.
• Following a July 3 meeting with Felsa Cisl, Glovo and Deliveroo agreed to halt the scheme pending revisions in union negotiations over rider safety and pay.
