Overview
- The strike began around 08:00 and is scheduled to run until 00:30, with roughly 1,900 Berlin couriers and support staff called out by NGG.
- A protest march is planned at midday from Friedrichshain to Kreuzberg, ending at Lieferando’s headquarters on Schlesische Straße.
- Negotiations in Berlin are in a sixth round over a reconciliation of interests and a social plan as the industrial action proceeds.
- Lieferando rejects the union’s portrayal, calls a standalone tariff unrealistic, and says customers should see little disruption as few employees typically join such actions.
- The company announced in July about 2,000 job cuts—around 20% of its rider fleet—linked to greater use of subcontractors; NGG warns of poorer conditions and pseudo self-employment, while the firm previously said roughly 5% of volume would go to third parties.
