Exploitation of employees by employers - when employers get rich at the expense and with the money belonging to employees

Low prices always imply low wages - high prices such as restaurant and hotel swiss chalet however never automatically result in honest legal or above legal wages as the greed of the swiss chalet management has shown in past years. Those hearings still are ongoing - to clarify why the legal wages have been refused and to fight for a full refund of underpay received apparently by all - some 36 - employees during the past many years. A total outstanding sum of backpay of many Million PHP that have been missing badly and painfully in the families of all swiss chalet employees. Last Monday was a meeting with 3 of the sacked employees and minutes later with another meeting with one of the swiss chalet representatives. The swiss chalet "boss" hans hofmann and owner of the hotel restaurant preferred to delegate all the dirty work to a 3rd party, apparently low paid local employee to take care of this deplorable and disgusting situation.

Coming Monday will be the hopefully last hearing at the Department of Labor and Employment in San Fernando Papanga. The efforts from that DoLE appear far less than possible and it looks very much that the DoLE has totally failed to defend the interest of the employees but rather defends the interests of rich business owners / employers in this case.

It definitely is the responsibility and liability of each and every tourist and customer to verify that each and all people around the world are treated with dignity and love. Abuse or exploitation never should be tolerated. Cases like the ongoing case of exploitation by Swiss Chalet Angeles City vs employees might be tiring, boring, expensive, time and resource consuming - but - who else if not YOU could take care and protect abused or exploited people who are weaker than you or weaker than authorities. It is a human's responsibility to help where ever help is needed, when ever help is needed and when ever help is asked for. The principle of boyscouts - the stronger protects the weaker ones - should apply to all mankind of all races, all ages and all religions around the globe.

God bless
