EU Chat Control threatens to implement automated scanning of all private online communications. We want a future without mass surveillance and with the right to our privacy! 

A backdoor for governments is a backdoor for everybody!

Join the protest to pressure the German Ministry of Justice to hold the line - don't ratify Chat Control!

Workers of @LWC_BLN are going on a historic strike today! This is the largest platform strike ever in Germany!

Supporters, journalists and politicians will gather from 13:00 onward at Rotherstr. 17 close to the Warschauerstr. U-Bahn.
The strike is called by the Food Beverage Union (NGG; Nahrung-Genuss-GaststΓ€tten) together with our long-time partners, Lieferando Workers Collective @LWC_BLN.

From TikTok, Amazon warehouses to Lieferando... sub-contracting is a union-busting tactic by employers to undermine worker rights and obfuscate power-relations. This long standing issue must be resolved both in the streets and legislatively.

Federal Minister of Labour BΓ€rbel Bas: UberEats, Wolt and Lieferando should directly employ platform workers.

"When I employ people directly...then I also have an obligation as an employer to comply with all national laws." That is why the Federal Ministry of Labour is now considering introducing the direct employment requirement instead of subcontracting when implementing the EU Platform Work Directive.

πŸŽ₯ Watch online now or later tonight at 20:15 an rbb news investigation exposing illegal and abusive practices by platform subcontractors, include bogus and illegal employment contracts, physical and psychological threats, the use of straw-men and unlawful wages.

Follow and support @lwc_bln so we can keep up the pressure on BMAS to do the right thing and restrict subcontractor exploitation!
