The Lieferando Workers Collective speaks from organised experience. LWC is not a neutral observer institution; it is a self-organised courier structure. That is exactly why its perspective matters in public: it combines direct experience, collective organisation, and a clear political demand.
Who LWC is
The Lieferando Workers Collective describes itself as the largest self-organised courier structure in Germany. On the campaign site, LWC says it represents around 1,500 couriers in Berlin and also organises workers at Wolt, Uber Eats, and in subcontracting structures.
Why this voice is credible
- Direct proximity to the work: the campaign comes from the area where the consequences of outsourcing are felt every day.
- Public corroboration: the demand is not presented in isolation, but supported by hearings, investigations, parliamentary debate, and external voices.
- Self-organised worker voice: this is not a PR department speaking about couriers; it is couriers speaking about their own conditions.
What LWC says publicly
The recurring core is simple: the companies that organise the work should directly employ the workers. LWC links that demand to reports of unpaid wages, shell companies, intimidation, and missing accountability. This is not abstract campaign language; it is a political conclusion drawn from lived experience.
