Viennese Economy-Crime-Story?

A well-known telecommunications company, who would not like to read its name here, but may do so soon, retained a well-known consulting firm for an assignment. This consulting firm, who would similarly prefer to not read its name here, though it may just the same come soon to light, retained in turn a IT company to complete this assignment. It should come as no surprise that this IT firm would also have its name kept in the shadows, even if it will soon be readable here. At the end of the chain rests a relatively small SeaMoX Information Technologies Corporation (SeaMoX) from Kaisermühlen, which seeks skilled laborers internationally and brings them to Vienna with myriad promises.

CNT-AIT Albacete - Labour conflict due to wrongful dismissal and claim of unpaid wages against Asishogar.

In June 2020, the CNT-AIT Albacete union began to take action against the company Asishogar, which manages home-care workers. A comrade of the union was working from July 2019 to January 2020, with a category of Home Help Assistant. On 27 December 2019, she fell ill and was fired at the end of January through a contract termination.

The company is required to:
1) Recognition of the termination of the employment relationship as an unfair dismissal, and not as end of the contract.
2) Payment of compensation for unfair dismissal for the months worked on the basis that the contract is in breach of law and, at least, a compensation of 33 days per year worked would be applied.
3) Claim of unpaid wages based on: not taken holidays (15 days), not taken rest days, night shift differential, wage differences due to the application of 2018 Wage Tables for work carried out in 2019, time spent going from one service to another, Social Security contribution for the week the worker was working without being registered.
4) Resolution and regularisation of the working conditions which have been systematically violated by the company.
The conflict is not yet resolved and the actions continue.
