Exploitation and humiliation of workers in Poland.

I found this article, which outlined what I would consider very distasteful working practises. Check it out.

Lidl demanded that Czech and Polish women workers wear special headbands during their monthly periods
Lidl has once again shown its true face. Lebensmittelzeitung, the leading commerce weekly, tells that the German hard discounter has forced its Czech saleswomen to wear a special headband during their menstruation periods. Reportedly, this practice was imposed on the women workers also in Poland, which shows that the management in Germany must have known and approved of it.

When I first read this, I thought "why would Giles be reading trade journals from 1939?"

Might I suggest they wear company issued burkhas during their monthly periods, this way, it would save the workers the humiliation of being personally identifiable by during those times, and having the public feeling sorry for them (for working at such a 5h!t-hole of a company). Better yet, free surgery that could negate the need to make frequent trips to the loo.

Fascists.

Germans

So is it a fact then that germans dont like polish people.iv been told by czech people that they dont like polish but wasnt given a reason why.
So i asked a polish workmate and he said it dates back to the war when germany came to fight and czech people surrendered and polish people stood their ground.would this be accurate?

And there is growing feeling in Poland too. You know - the bad one.

Not exactly. It is because in Poland we very often make fun of czech people. There exist many czech jokes just like polish jokes in USA. But nobody in Poland harass czech people like krauts do.

irregardless of nationality, on a gender note, they should conversly make men wear pointy hates when they are horny (all the time basically)

same ridiculous idea but gender equal i think

I don't buy at Lidl. It's one of the elements of negative portrait of Polish emigration.

Sorry off topic a bit I know, but I have wondered why the czechs don't seem to like Poles.
I understand that it's because Polish soldiers helped the Russians clamp down on Czechoslovakia during the Prague Spring - never forgiven the Poles ? Is there any truth in that?

It is rather polish humoristc way to deal with czech people. Poles dont kill, unless they are forced to do it. Russians and Germans: this is other story.
