After a collective agreement for bicycle competitions has been fighting for months, this will be a waste. Because Dieandando – in addition to Foodora in the top dog in the delivery company with one lane meal – has canceled hundreds of drivers and switches the logistics to free service contracts.
“The Logistics Model of Dieandando Austria has been adapted to the Austrian industrial standard,” said spokeswoman Katrin Wala, Loberando, Tuesday. This is done after a “careful” evaluation. “In the future we will therefore work with free employees.”
Unlike Foodora and Wolt, Liererando has usually made his messengers in Austria. Moreover, according to Dieandando, the drivers want to grant fair and attractive framework conditions. The collective agreement was controversial and is not one of the lucratives in Austria. Nevertheless, the paid holiday, Christmas bonus, surcharges for Sunday work and reimbursement, even in the case of illness, offers.
Termination wave at Liererando
According to the “standard”, the Council refers to 966 affected employees. Liererando announced on request: “Our delivery fleet currently consists of around 850 drivers. With the end of our employee model we will have to reject around 600 drivers, with the exhaustion of all options,” Wala said. “Another 65 employees at our locations in Vienna and the federal states are being hit.”
According to De Liererando, the last step does not mean a withdrawal from Austria. “We continue to invest in the Austrian market.” No longer in the driver who is subject to the collective agreement. It is about competitive conditions. For years, attempts have been made to set benchmarks for the industry, but no competitor had followed it. That led to essential competitive disadvantages.
