The German cabinet approved a draft law on Wednesday to force logistics and ecommerce companies that outsource deliveries to ensure that their subcontractors pay proper social security contributions for their drivers. The legislation was proposed after police launched nationwide raids on subcontracting delivery firms in February and uncovered numerous cases of social security fraud and drivers working off the books. Wages are being pushed down and social insurance contributions are not being made and we won’t put up with this any longer,” Labour Minister Hubertus Heil told journalists.
