Visiting the Prešov office of OTTO Workforce agency
11/04/2011
On Friday April 8, Priama akcia organized its second visit to the OTTO Workforce office in Prešov. We gave the staff a symbolic red card addressed to the management of the agency. We reminded one of the employees (see photo) in the branch that since our first visit some of the workers did receive some money which the company refused to pay before, but not all the demands were fulfilled, therefore we will continue to inform people about the practices of the company at home and abroad. We do not think this was the last red card for OTTO.
OTTO workers arbitrarily receive red and yellow cards from the agency staff and with these the agency deducts parts of their payment. If anyone deserves some punishment, it is definitely OTTO Workforce for their behavior. 
To give a red card in OTTO offices is just one of several options to show the agency that their practices will be carefully watched. Until all the demands are fulfilled, we will encourage the workers not to be afraid and stand up against the agency. The fact that it is a good strategy is confirmed by the case of one of the ex-workers who participated in the campaign – thanks to the pressure of the campaign the agency had to return him 1000 euros which they deliberately deducted.
OTTO Workforce – We are watching you!
