Overview

• The tribunal ordered an immediate consultation with Riccardo Vittorio Marotta, the Filcams Cgil territorial safety representative for Palermo and Trapani, on heat-related risks to riders.
• This is the first such measure in Italy compelling a gig-economy firm to engage formally with a union-appointed safety representative.
• The ruling requires Glovo to update its risk assessment to include riders’ age, gender, maternity and pregnancy status, geographic origin and contract type.
• Glovo must supply riders with appropriate protective clothing, hydration, protective creams and mineral salts during heat wave conditions.
• The decision reflects heightened scrutiny of gig-economy safety as record-setting heat waves strain minimal existing protections.
