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.
I was absolutely sure this was some USA-as-usual post on lemmy. How insane do you have to be to write something like that in a country with working labor laws?
I wanna see the prosecutors face, tbh.
Even in the US this wouldn't fly. But the fact it's in any other developed nation other than the US, double yikes.
You love to see someone incriminate themselves while trying to suppress labor rights.
Yes, and I'm sure he will face, like, really bad consequences.
not sure if this is sarcasm, but where OP is - iceland - probably has much better consequences for this kind of labor crime than the US...
We can only hope
Tell me you are American without telling me you are American lmao
Where are you? Do your bosses have the sense to not write that?
Thanks for leaving this illegal threat in writing. I suggest you look for a new job.
I wish this were how the world worked. But you can't legalism your way through a union drive. At the end of the day, you need your coworkers to have your back.
But iceland actually enforces labor laws right? So the unions gonna win the case right?
I would expect that the union lawyer won’t mind that evidence is served on a silver platter like this.
That guy really puts the Dic in Icelandic
Lol but tbf the icelandic people ive met are pretty chill actually.
Yeah this is the guy that does it. Otherwise they would just be icelaners
This reeks of the villain monologuing their plan while the hero is helplessly tied to the train tracks. But also Facebook living it for posterity lmao
I would just reply with "Indeed.com"

My god, their planet is exactly like ours but they have labour laws! Quick Daniel, dial the gate! sprays P90
