Polish workers sacked by agency at short notice

Norway

Municipal union Fagforbundet has highlighted the case of 14 Polish workers who were summarily sacked by the Adecco employment agency. The workers had been sent by Adecco to work on a refuse collection contract in the town of Asker that had been won by the Ragn-Sells company in November. The 14 men were expected to do a job previously done by 19 and were told by Adecco that they had not been working hard or fast enough and so should resign or face legal proceedings. The agency wouldn’t offer any other employment and so the men not only lost their accommodation but were forced to go back to Poland. The men recorded their conversations with Adecco and sent them to the press.
