Portier Eats Spain acknowledged the delivery riders were actually employed and will pay to each of them the equivalent to 45 days' salary per year they worked for the company, the union said in a statement.

"We have since then launched a new model in full compliance with the new local regulatory framework and remain open to dialogue," he added.
