Glovo Riders Protest in Morocco: Territorial Dispute and Labor Rights Spark Delivery Crisis

To denounce the persistence of a truncated map of Morocco, displaying the mention "Western Sahara" on the mobile application, but also to alert on their working conditions deemed precarious. These are the objectives of the demonstration in which dozens of Glovo delivery workers participated on Monday in Casablanca. This is not their first demonstration.

Since early July, the delivery workers have been organizing spontaneous demonstrations in several Moroccan cities. On the political front, they threaten to suspend their activities if the Spanish platform does not correct its map by removing the mention "Western Sahara". On the social and economic front, the workers denounce insufficient wages and the lack of social security coverage. They deplore the costs that are entirely their responsibility: motorcycle maintenance, fuel, insurance, purchase of safety equipment.

The protesters also accuse Glovo Morocco of obstructing the exercise of the right to unionize and demand recognition of their right to organize collectively to defend their interests. They also call for a dialogue with management. In case of dissatisfaction with their demands, they plan to take other actions to make themselves heard.
