Somebody is going to get steamrolled by Icelandic labor laws. And it's not going to be the employee.
Edit: like this is seriously illegal in Iceland. Also, if you're going to be a corrupt and immoral business owner (evil really in this case), the number one thing you DON'T do is broadcast your nefarious intentions over a recordable medium.
Huge balls to write this in reproducible text in a civilised country with labour laws.
A lot of times immigrants to Iceland in low paying jobs like this do not understand their rights. Wouldn't surprise me if this guy has gotten away with it before. Possibly more than once.
Iceland isn't perfect. If a business wants to get rid of someone, they'll find a way to do it. But it is illegal to prevent someone from joining a union, or issue threats like this. Companies over a certain size (50+ I think?) are actually required to have a union representative.
Yeah it happens all the time, but people usually give these messages verbally
I can tell he's the kind of man who is very proud to be habitually reckless and cruel.
