Red card for OTTO Work Force agency in Olomouc

After protests in Prešov and Banská Bystrica in Slovakia Priama akcia focused on the recruitment office in Olomouc, Czech Republic. We visited the premises with a local journalist from the paper Olomoucký deník (article in Czech here). We handed over a red card to the employee, who accepted it without objections and promised to fax it to the management in Holland and inform the CEO Frank van Gool about the protest. She indirectly indicated that she has her own opinion regarding the problematic practices.
All the offices in Czech and Slovakia were given a warning in April and May that we are watching the agency treatment of the workers, and that we will continue to inform about it and organize more actions to fulfill the demands of the campaign. Also, journalists from several countries are interested in the practices of OTTO.

We repeatedly ask workers to contact us and share their experience. In case you demand correction of something you consider an improper procedure of the agency, join the campaign. As for the financial demands, so far all the workers who have taken part in the campaign actively saw their demands partly or completely fulfilled.
