Meat is thawed in the dishwasher and the kitchen run cockroaches, say former employees of chain Bastion. The national hotel chain Bastion violates numerous rules on hygiene. The salary payments are opaque and may not ensure compliance with the law. To explain several (former) employees across newspaper De Limburger.
,, If people know what is happening in the kitchen, no one wants to eat, "said a housekeeper. ,, When she morning to discover that too little meat is interpreted, it is simply thawed in the dishwasher. ''
Jacqueline twerda CNV Professionals: ,, Under pressure of time and money lapping staff rules to boot. It leads to dirt and unacceptable pressure. It is modern slavery. "The management of Bastion denies. ,, Practically everything is out of the truth or. Is incorrect, '' says director Eddo Rats.
Gerson Zwaab was until recently a night porter at the office in Heerlen Bastion. At least, he was officially night porter. In practice, it was used for numerous activities. ,, I had to do the laundry, folding towels, bread, cold cuts ready, filtering cooking oil. He saw the whole hotel inside.
silverfish
word about it. ,, There walking around mice and cockroaches. There are silverfish, under the coffee machine and the dishwasher. Food after delivery sometimes kept out of the refrigerator, whether it is frozen against the rules twice. Overall Bastion is touch and go and sometimes over it, "said Zwaab.
Other (old) -employees, who wish to remain anonymous, say that vermin runs the kitchens and restaurants and there is tampered with the shelf life of foods. Also leaves much to be desired about the cleaning and unqualified personnel employed as a cook, said the employees themselves. ,, I dared myself not to eat, so filthy, so dirty, "says a former head of the household office in Maastricht.
credit card
Zwaab repeatedly played cards the abuses he signaled internally. ,, but they did nothing with it. I had to keep my mouth shut, otherwise I got severance '' The night porter eventually got itself into conflict with Bastion after he had made a mistake:. He allowed people to an unsecured credit card. He had to pay for the room itself, as a punishment only works one day a week. Meanwhile he has been told that he is no longer welcome.
Like other employees Zwaab sketch a picture of an 'intimidating' company with a high workload. Employees who complain is from above gagged or they are threatened with dismissal. Bastion uses contracts can not be terminated prematurely by employees. One dismissed employee of an office in Amsterdam, has been given a 'fine' of 18,000 euros for breach of contract and goes to court.
shadowy
Cleaners also claim that they do not get all worked paid. ,, It frequently happened that I worked six hours and only three got paid, "said a former housekeeper. She worked in Maastricht from June to December last year and then was fired because she had called in sick. ,, It seems shadowy business. we think that there are irregularities and we call on workers to contact us at and come up with concrete evidence, "said union official Marc Bouma FNV Horeca.
Truth
The Inspectorate SZW explained the chain last year, more than three tons of fine due to the opaque administration. In NVWA (Dutch Food Safety Authority) already scored Bastion years in a row not sufficient.
The management of Bastion rejects the findings of the hand. ,, Practically everything is out of the truth or. is incorrect. Bastion is acting completely within the framework of the applicable laws and regulations and adheres at least the collective agreement, "said director Eddo Rats. ,, The propositions relevant hygiene are totally unfounded."
