The CGT union has called a strike for Glovo delivery riders from Friday, July 14 to Monday, July 17. 

The union has urged riders working for the Barcelona-based multinational to support strike action organized by delivery riders of Asian origin. 

On its social networks, the CGT said that it was a collective of Pakistani, Indian and Bengali riders that called the protest, which the union is supporting. 

The Asian riders say that they have been put in a "precarious" position by Glovo and complain that the rider law introduced in Spain in August 2021 "did not take them into account." 

The group is also requesting higher rates of pay.
