Lower Austrian sues employers for 1,200 overtime!

An alarming case from Lower Austria unfolds: An employee from the Zwettl district worked for a foreign company under dramatic conditions. According to reports from 5min.at, she worked in a 60-hour week for months and added an incredible 1,200 overtime overtime, which her employer refused to pay. These brutal working conditions finally moved the woman affected to contact the Chamber of Labor. Thomas Kaindl, head of the regional tasks at AK Lower Austria, confirmed the situation and said: "The lawsuit is currently at the Labor and Social Court".

Legal dispute over outstanding wages

The Chamber of Labor is now fighting to request the open amounts for the employee. This is part of a greater commitment of the AK, which successfully won 100 million euros for employees last year, as ORF Lower Austria reports. The lawsuit, which is currently pending, will clarify important key points to enforce the rights of employees in similar situations.

The fact that a woman exceeds country borders in such an exceptional situation, raises questions about compliance with work standards and the protection of employee rights. Such stories stand for numerous employees who suffer from terrible conditions. The outcome of this legal dispute could have far -reaching consequences for the future of employment in the region, while the Chamber of Labor is tirelessly alongside those affected to defend their rights.
