“The following report draws on 48 interviews with workers, works council representatives, and managers in German warehouse facilities. It was developed within the framework of the Humans in Digital Logistics (HuLog) project, funded by ERA-CHANSE between 2022 and 2025 (Grant Agreement No. 101004509). The findings and recommendations presented here were discussed in two stakeholder meetings. Participants in these meetings included representatives of works councils, employer associations, local authorities, labour agencies, health and safety experts, and the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs. We would like to thank Prof. Markus Helfen, whose empirical contributions and expertise were invaluable to this report, as well as Monika Maslany for her excellent assistance.”
