"Hiring all bicycle messengers on a fixed basis? That would be the death of the industry," says Schreiber, "it would make everyone a loser."
Arthur Schreiber, CEO Mjam Austria in the derstandard.at on 4.2.2021. It would be the death of the industry if fair working conditions prevailed in the delivery industry?
Rather wage dumping, circumventing labour law with freelance contracts and ignoring the collective agreement are the death of the industry and our jobs! Companies like the direct competitor Lieferando.at or local companies like Heavy Pedals Lastenradtransport und -verkauf, Pink Pedals, Dex - Document express, VELOBLITZ and others show that there is a different way, they stick to collective agreements, some overpay and offer fair and secure working conditions through employment for all messengers instead of free delivery! Only Mjam would lose!
"We are in a low-wage sector and offer no qualified training. The only requirement for the job is to be able to cycle." He made no secret of this," said Mr. Schreiber in the article in question.
So you make no secret of the disparagement of us messengers who are of no value for you Mr. Schreiber because we allegedly have no qualifications? Make no secret of the fact that migrants can be exploited because they can't find anything better on the labour market? Make no secret of the fact that in the "low-wage sector" (which, by the way, is exactly where this company keeps it) one can do without labour law, social security, collective co-determination and a good life for all?
We see it differently! We are proud messengers and workers who deserve to be treated with respect like everyone else! We are migrants, students, workers, academics, artists and ultimately working people who deserve respect and secure working conditions!
We are angry and will fight for our rights!!
