Winst voor gemeenten: werklozen gratis inzetten op stembureaus

Blijkens een bericht op Radio Stichtse Vecht van 8 november 2013 gaat de gemeente Stichtse Vecht bijstandsgerechtigden in het kader van de “verplichte tegenprestatie” inzetten op stembureaus. De gemeente hoopt zo tienduizend euro per verkiezing te besparen. Tot nu toe verdienden ambtenaren of andere burgers die op de stembureaus zaten een zakcent bij doordat ze presentiegeld kregen voor het bemensen

The political Left is not always averse to forced labour

Success in Leiden: fear of May 1st celebration results in unexpected leave for forced labour centre

No forced labour!

In Leiden today some 25 people celebrated Labour Day on the square in front of the DZB (1) building. Similar to last year, there was music, food and drinks, and a few short speeches.

We have reported back a few times, and this time we can report the

Pays-Bas: aucun argument ne nous fera jamais accepter le “travail forcé”!

Unemployed activist confronts Leiden alderman.

Depuis quelque temps, les militants du groupe Doorbraak luttent à Leiden contre les tentatives d’imposer le travail forcé aux “bénéficiaires” des allocations chômage. Cette politique du travail forcé s’applique exclusivement aux personnes qui reçoivent de l’argent de l’État. Aux Pays-Bas, lorsque vous perdez votre emploi, tout d’abord, vous percevez pendant quelques mois environ 70 % de votre revenu antérieur, selon

Dwangarbeid in Nederland sterk staaltje psychische terreur

Bij de werkmeester moesten we doosjes vouwen, crackers uit bestaande verpakking halen en in de nieuwe verpakking, de zojuist gevouwen doosjes stoppen, deze werkzaamheden herhalen zich tot einde dienst. Gezien het feit dat ik alleenstaande moeder ben en een schoolgaand kind heb, aangegeven dat ik niet om 08:00 kan beginnen en uiterlijk om 14:45 mijn dienst moet beëindigen. Er werd
