DHL Aviation will launch an internal investigation into possible abuse of one-day contracts [Pano – één]

Share

DHL Aviation, located at Brussels Airport will launch an internal investigation into possible abuse of one-day contracts. The reason is a “Pano” broadcast on één (Belgian TV) tonight. Reporter Michaël Dilissen went undercover at DHL and worked as a loader. He discovered that 250 workers work at DHL for weeks and months, yet with one-day contracts. “Being sick is not an option, complaining either”. Tonight on één at 21:25 (in Dutch)

Pano stuurde zijn jongste reporter Michael Dilissen undercover op onderzoek. Een aantal weken nachtwerk met dagcontracten als lader-losser bij DHL Aviation Airport, de pakjesdienst van uw online bestelling. Ziek zijn is er geen optie, klagen ook niet. “Sociale dumping op Belgische niveau”, zoals de arbeidsinspectie het omschrijft. We willen weten in welke mate bedrijven werknemers aan het lijntje houden met specifieke interimcontracten, de dagcontracten. De wet schrijft voor dat dat alleen kan in uitzonderlijke situaties. Maar houdt DHL Aviation (en bij uitbreiding ook andere bedrijven) zich daaraan? Woensdag de volledige repo, om 21u25 Eén

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
