(en) IWA External Bulletin #8* - Priama akcia activities November 2013 - April 2014

PROBLEMS IN THE WORKPLACE ---- This activity is oriented at people who experience problems 
in their workplace (unpaid wages, unpaid trial period, uncounted working hours or illegal 
dismissals). In April, we started spreading stickers 
(http://www.priamaakcia.sk/data/File/Kampane/PvP/PvP_nalepky_color.pdf) and launched a 
website (http://problemyvpraci.priamaakcia.sk/) and a Facebook page 
(http://www.facebook.com/problemyvpraci). ---- Basic aims of the activity: ---- To 
encourage workers to actively solve problems in their workplaces. ---- To help each other 
in solving the problems. ---- To share experience, useful tips and recommendations. ---- 
Conflicts in our region ---- OTTO WorkForce campaign ---- We are still involved in the 
campaign against practices of OTTO WorkForce and communicate with workers who regularly 
contact us. The most common problems they face are lack of work and extremely bad 
accommodation. Currently we are preparing a summary article with tips and tricks about 
what to do when problems appear.
