2021 Gorillas strikes

Since its launch, the company has faced a number of concerns over working conditions, including allegations of low pay, being late with payments, understaffing, violating labour laws on time between shifts, problematic behaviour on the part of management, and lack of maintenance on safety equipment.

Workers receive a pay of €10.50 per hour and are limited to a twelve-month contract that includes a six-month probationary period.

On July 17, workers undertook a mobile strike, cycling to several different warehouses to temporarily halt company activities.
