Scandal in Upper Austria: Disappointed space nurse due to harassment!

A shattering story from Upper Austria: A space nurse who worked during her trial period was massively bothered by a colleague. According to a report by the Chamber of Labor she was verbally and physically attacked while trying to defend herself. The colleague pressed her on a wall, kissed her against her will and continued to molest her. After this shocking experience, she reported the incident to her employer, who could not offer a reasonable solution. Instead, he proposed an alternative workplace with poorer conditions, which was unacceptable for women.

Since no reasonable remedy was created, their employment relationship ultimately had to be dissolved. The Chamber of Labor described this situation as "multiple discrimination"; The employer's failure to react appropriately to the attacks, as well as the subsequent termination contradict the legal provisions. Although the employer denied all allegations, he finally agreed in a comparison and paid 4,000 euros to the employee concerned, as 5min.at . This example shows how important it is that employees cannot feel left alone and can count on the support of institutions such as the Chamber of Labor.

The role of the Chamber of Labor

The Chamber of Labor plays a crucial role in representing the rights of employees in Austria. It not only supports the interests of its members in the interests of its members towards politics and business. Almost all employees are members, and unemployed people are also entitled to the services of the chamber, as can be seen from the information. It is particularly noteworthy that 803,000 members who are freed from the articles still receive the full range of services from the Chamber of Labor. This institution is therefore an important guarantee for fairness and equal treatment in the workplace.
