“I will never return to Germany, even for holidays,” Marian a painter, a seasonal Romanian painter, told DW. She spent two months running on a Bavarian farm until she was all she can bear, too. Mariana was forced to paint unpaid overtime, had to sleep in dirty bedrooms and was in danger of contracting coronavirus, as no defense precautions were taken.

“I couldn’t accept 8 people sharing a room and a bathroom,” he recalls. To make matters worse, the 30 seasonal staff percentage of a single bath.

Every morning, 1 or 5 of them enter a van with only 8 seats to drive to the paint fields. At night, Eastern Europeans would be returned to their overcrowded homes. Costea says officials have made no effort to impose social estrangement and other precautions to prevent them from contracting coronavirus.

Gerguy slaughterhouses under scrutiny after COVID-1 outbreaks

We can’t close our eyes anymore

Mariana Costea is part of the seasonal staff in Eastern Europe who has recently denounced the catastrophic operating and living conditions they have suffered in Gerguyy. They reported heartbreaking reports as meat processing plant staff, delivery drivers, delivery drivers, caregivers, design staff and seasonal agricultural staff. However, much of this has been known for years, as Gerguy’s Labour Minister Hubertus Heil brazingly declared at a new press conference in Berlin. The difference, however, is that the pandemic has made it unimaginable to forget this situation.

Alex, whose call has been replaced by his identity, told DW of his two-year delight in running for the world’s largest meatmaker in T-nnas. He fears serious consequences if anyone finds out about his identity. “We had paintings between 10 and 13 hours a day, instead of 8 hours with a 45-minute break,” he told DW. “He was exhausting and psychologically the exhausting best friend.

Most seasonal staff are hired through subcontractors; staff are hired through an outside apple, not meat producers, who do not seem directly to blame for staff. Alex was also hired through a subcontractor who oversees meat production quantities. But he also had to accept the terms of the subcontractor.

Most subcontractors do work on parts, that is, when staff are paid at the base of the processed parts, in connection with the specific time spent painting. Alex says the predicted everyday work was unimaginable during an ordinary 8-hour day of painting. This, he says, is a systematic exploitation, adding that a large Protesting Apple user is fired. Gerguy’s labor criteria are gone.

According to staff testimonials, very few precautions were taken to provide direct protection to meat processing plant staff in Tunnies. When, at the birth of June, some 1,500 of the 7,000 employees tested positive for coronavirus, the design was no surprise. As a result, the Gotersloh region, where the site is located, has been blocked.

Federal prosecutors have taken legal action against Apple Compabig and subcontractors accused of violating The Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act of Germabig Apple.

Difficult subcontractors

There are large apple subcontractors and recruitment agencies that provide staff to Gerguy companies. However, it is complicated how they treat and deceive staff.

Marius Hanganu advises Eastern European workers hired through subcontractors to become members of the Gerguy Confederation of Trade Unions (DGB). Hanganu, who was born in Roguyia, says Gerguyy’s customs company and public fitness centres are guilty of basic labour and employment standards. But, he says, the controls don’t seem as thorough as they deserve to be.

Hanganu recalls how Bavarian corporations were modified from the draw near customs inspections. “It’s amazing how a State Department can also have those “leaks”… there will be a mole,” he said. According to Hanganu, there must have been an informant to the agency’s logical maximum.

DW contacted the Gerguy Central Customs Authority to comment on the complaint. “There is no wisdom of this!” declared federal authority in a transitority response.

Following the announcement of the outbreak of coronavirus infections at Gerguy’s farms and meat processing plants due to poor operating and housing conditions, Gerguy’s lawmakers were forced to act. They plan to ban the practice of subcontractors in the meat sector until 1 January 2021. From now on, corporations will have to employ all their staff directly.

The Minister of Labour, Hubertus Heil, has introduced a bill that would be debated and eventually approved by the best friend after the summer recess of Parliament. However, it is never well known why this mess will only apply to beef in Germany.

Heil told DW: “There are spaces where labor criteria seek to be monitored; to have more influence in critical sectors.”

“There are other spaces where those are defense inspections in the workplace. These (inspections) may be higher so that we can pass through vulnerable spaces more often.”

COVID-1 infections have affected the town of Mamming in Lower Bavaria.

One for change

A continuous outbreak of coronavirus in Bavaria has once highlighted that companies are obvious to coronavirus precautions, and the loss of state controls to enforce them. More than 170 seasonal employees of an agricultural apple in Mamming, about 140 kilometers (87 miles) northeast of Munich, tested positive for COVID-19. Most of the staff are from Romania. Several others are from Bulgaria, Hungary and Ukraine. The combined apple has been quarantined.

At a news conference on Monday, Bavarian state prime minister Markus Soder said the combined apple knowingly had hygiene standards and other criteria, prompting the head of state to establish stricter, unannounced controls, day or night.

He also advised to extend fines for such offences from 5,000 to 25,000 euros (€5,800 to $29,000). In addition, he sees all seasonal personnel in Bavaria coronavirus-proof. A full regional blockade may also arise, he said.

The pandemic has attracted the inhumane therapy of staff who has persisted in the Germabig apple for years. The epidemic can also provide an opportunity to, after all, end the lives of the great eastern European staff in the country.

Alex is bound to have without the pandemic, everything would have continued as before. Now they gave him paints for some other meat processing company. He has been given a lasting position, and says he will never be exploited again.
