Tips and good examples how to deal with discrimination

 

If you believe that your employer or manager is mistreating you or discriminating against you, you can file a written complaint to a trade union within 5 days after the problem occurs. The trade union is then expected to investigate the case within 7 days from receiving the complaint to determine if the situation was a case of discrimination or mistreatment. If the investigate finds that the employee was indeed treated wrongly, the trade union can try to resolve the problem with the employer. If the employer does not modify the behavior, the trade union has the right to take the issue to the Arbitration Council.
