Uber: Spanish regulation protecting couriers leads to workforce shortage
Uber Eats says that a Spanish law passed last year – this requires food delivery companies to contract their couriers as staff – has caused a workforce shortage, as many prefer to remain self-employed and work for rivals that don’t comply with the regulation. The Spanish branch of Uber’s online food delivery platform has informed the Labour Ministry about the problem in an open letter.
