Germany/ Legislation moves to tackle excessive outsourcing in the packages delivery business sector. German Social Affairs and Employment Minister Hubertus Heil (SPD) has called the working conditions under which many home packages delivery workers operate as ‘shameful’. Such workers can find themselves employed by companies that are themselves sub-contracted by major transports companies. During the weekend 02/03 March, the Minister announced he would soon be submitting draft legislation set to tackle excessive outsourcing in this sector and to improve delivery workers’ working conditions.
