Court to decide on election of gorillas works council

The delivery service believes that not everything was above board in the selection of the election committee. It is the next harassment in the labor dispute.

The Berlin Labor Court is today hearing an application by the delivery service Gorillas to cancel a works council election planned for the end of November. The Berlin start-up claims that the procedure for appointing the election committee was not carried out properly. The election notice also contained significant errors. In addition, it had not been posted in all the required places.

Furthermore, the concept of the company was misunderstood and there was no responsibility of this election committee for the employees who were called to vote here. The election committee, on the other hand, stands by its intention to hold the election.

There have been fierce internal debates about working conditions at the delivery service for some time. Just yesterday, according to the police, 350 people took part in a demonstration in support of the Gorillas employees.
