Proffice, according to Expressen.se, is having problems at one customer place. The employees are supposted to keep quite and just live with last minute changes in the schedules and accept the fact that they cannot do anything about them, even when the law is broken and the workers don´t get enough resting hours.
I know of other temp agencies that promise one thing, give a contract and do another. The contract is allways to the benefit of the company and many people do not understand that promises orally are not legit when there is a written contract. Many times I have experienced that promises haven´t been kept. This happens too many times and people are beeing exploited by the owners of these big temp agencies.
The worker is only risking it´s job if it speaks up, after all they can allways employ another in this terrible Swedish temp agency market. I guess it is the same in many other countries too, but I only speak for the one I actually know about.
Temp agencies are not alone to expect their employees to keep quite, just like robots, or should I say – the modern slave – the worker.
I think this is wrong. I want to change this. I wish people where able to speak up, but its still utopia and a far way to go forward. However speaking the truth is longlasting and beeing kind too. All employeers should be looked at by the state. The workers should be able to rank the employer totally anonomyous. Bad employers should be out in the light. And unemployed should be allowed to say no to those employers. This way they wouldn´t be able to get no more workers for bad conditions.
However the employers rule the Alliance job market. As long as this type of politic rules, no worker will have the same rights as another. Arbetsmarknadens parter har misslyckats fatalt med att ge arbetare rättigheter att förbättra systemen på riktigt. Alliansens politiker gör inget åt det, utan tror att arbetsmarknadens parter ska lösa alla problem. Det gör dem inte.
