Important strike on Thursday in Berlin by Lieferando (Just Eat) riders. Lieferando's shift to sub-contractors is part of a plan across Germany to slash costs by using small firms that have no problem with illegal labour practices, but there is resistance!

Report on the @etuc-ces.bsky.social 'Platforum' in Nicosia, where platform workers and organisers gathered from across Europe to analyse the situation and prepare for the Platform Work Directive.
A key theme: "Bogus employment" is no solution to bogus-self employment!

Algorithmic management is an increasingly normalised part of industrial relations and impinges on fundamental aspects of working conditions, like pay andperformance evaluation 1/2

Students from India are bearing the entire business and legal risk of the German operations of venture-backed food delivery platforms such as Wolt, Uber Eats, and most recently, Lieferando. One only needs to observe the new "fat bikes" on the streets of Europe and ask, who is paying for them?
E-Bike-Fahrer von Lieferdiensten gehören in Großstädten zum Straßenbild, oft sind es indische Studenten. Doch weil sich die #Rider häufig selbst um ihre Arbeitsmittel kümmern müssen, kaufen sie mitunter am Zoll vorbei chinesische Billig-Modelle (Test/Abo) 👉 is.gd/bpbLQj @islandexpress.bsky.social
