Criticism

Since mid-2009 the central warehouse of the Danish Bettenwelt Germany have come under criticism of the media ( under the name Bettenwelt ). Coinciding with the creation of a staff position in the International Logistics and their occupation with a former Lidl manager employment agencies were used in the central warehouses increased. Temporary workers take over most of the commission works of permanent staff. There are also still in the central warehouses - in contrast to the other parts of the Group - not paid according to tariff permanent staff.

In July 2009, large parts of the industrial and commercial staff went in Homberg location for the required collective membership in a warning strike. The battle lines between management and works council have hardened according to Hessian / Low Saxon General, last termination without notice to council members of the site Homberg / Efze were pronounced. The legal dispute has not yet been completed.
