Moos rreports on reporting this week From Het Parool about exploitation of Filipino and Indonesian cleaners who worked at the gym. According to the newspaper, at least 23 cleaners had to hand in their passport, they worked for up to seventeen hours a day and had to sleep in one bed together.
The Labor Inspectorate conducts research into the situation at the company, Moos confirms in the video on the website of the gym. Saints & Stars has also launched its own research.
Moos disputes the conclusions of Het Parool. He also says that Saints & Stars employees are ‘spit, boycot and even threatened with death’ since the publication.
‘Never signs of exploitation’
Moos says that Saints & Stars has been working with the same cleaning company for some time. Because that company had a shortage of staff, they worked for three months at the youngest location of the gym with people who ‘were allowed to work in the European Union’. Whether it is about the people from the Philippines and Indonesia, he does not say.
The gym owner has never received signals from exploitation. He plans to apologize if something has gone wrong.
