MILAN (Reuters) -International food delivery platform Glovo has suspended a heatwave bonus for its couriers in Italy, it said on Thursday, after criticism from labour unions and politicians.

Glovo recently introduced the bonus, worth just a few euro cents per delivery and rising in step with temperatures, to compensate riders working during extreme heat.

However, unions argued it effectively incentivized couriers to take risks during hazardous weather, rather than protecting their health.

"Glovo resolved to suspend at national level the bonus system for deliveries during the hottest hours of the day," the company said in a statement.

Italy, like much of Europe, is experiencing an early summer heatwave. The government has issued a red alert for 18 cities.
