First concessions of OTTO Workforce – appeal to send protest faxes/e-mails till Monday noon

After two meetings with the management of OTTO Workforce in Holland this week first concessions have been made. Thanks to the international campaign of the Dutch organization Vrije Bond, ZSP (IWA Poland), and Priama akcia (IWA Slovakia) OTTO paid out some (but not all) money it owed.

Apparently, the company is trying to hush up the problem and satisfy the workers with partial concessions. However, no changes were made regarding for example housing conditions, and the CEO still claims there is no system of fines in the company. Also, more workers have contacted the activists and want to join the struggle, and the campaign is thus not over.

Help raise pressure on the agency by sending faxes and e-mails till Monday noon (28th March). The same day a meeting takes place between representatives of ZSP and OTTO Workforce. You can either send the e-mails from your e-mail address or use the e-mail form here.
