MADRID/BARCELONA, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Spain has fined Delivery Hero's (DHER.DE) local business Glovo 79 million euros ($78 million) for allegedly violating labour laws, its labour minister Yolanda Diaz said on Wednesday. "(Glovo) has violated fundamental labour rights and they have obstructed the work of the investigation. In May 2021, Spain passed one of Europe's first laws relating to gig-economy workers' rights, requiring riders for food delivery platforms be made employees on formal labour contracts.
