FOOD delivery drivers in Berlin are accusing their employers of sabotaging their efforts to unionise following concerns over shift hours.

Workers at Flink, a delivery app that promises to get groceries to your door in under 10 minutes, planned to elect members to form a workers’ council, taking the first steps towards unionising. 

The Flink Workers’ Collective, which is organising the vote, has said the drivers have raised issues over unpredictable hours and a lack of shifts. Despite having permanent contracts, riders have no guaranteed number of hours and can be left with none at all.
