On-demand grocery delivery company Gorillas fired dozens of its riders Monday for participating in a series of wildcat strikes that shuttered several of its Berlin warehouses.
The move comes amidst escalating tensions between Gorillas and its Berlin riders, who have continued to intermittently strike in demand of higher wages, better safety equipment and consistent payment of wages, among other things. In June, Motherboard obtained a recording of an internal Zoom call where Gorillas CEO Kağan Sümer accused striking workers of “political ambition” and blamed protests on unnamed “external parties.”
