According to FNV Vice President Katie Jung, “it has been raining additional reports” since the results were published. On Tuesday, FNV published the results of an “exploratory study” that included 101 VWS employees, 95 of whom answered all the questions.
The majority of people who participated in the survey indicated that they had experienced one or more forms of inappropriate behavior, especially by managers. This would mainly include bullying and intimidation.
Within 24 hours after the survey results came out, another 150 people completed the survey, FNV reports. The union said 16 of those participants indicated they wanted to be called back regarding their “employment status.”
“We feel responsible so we reported this to the Labor Inspectorate,” says Vice President Jung. “We expect this matter to be treated with the same urgency as an industrial accident.”
