Episode 25: With a little help from my friends

Show notes

In this final episode of our three-part series, we follow Leonard Müller, a Lieferando rider in Berlin, as he navigates a challenging works council election, despite the company’s attempts to cancel it. We also explore the legal fight for platform workers’ rights in other countries, with perspectives from trade unionists Veit Groß, Martin Willems, and Luigi Mansi, who successfully negotiated a national collective agreement for Just Eat workers in Italy.

Dennis Radtke, a member of the European Parliament and shadow rapporteur of the new EU directive, discusses the potential of the directive, aimed at improving working conditions for platform employees across Europe.
