WhatsApp could turn into a nightmare for workers
As we learn from Telerama News, the following is the message sent to the worker in question on WhatsApp:
You are suspended from service and we have sent a registered letter to which you must reply. No service orders have been assigned to you for today and for the next few days. Yours sincerely.
The local unions denounced the incident, which pointed out that the workers would always be sent via WhatsApp other messages of a questionable nature (for example, We remind you that you have an obligation, as a subordinate employee, to obey the directives hierarchical records of the employer).
This is not the first case of using WhatsApp for communications relating to the employment relationship (including disciplinary disputes or even dismissals) and the national news reports from time to time news of companies that prefer to use instant messaging tools to reach their employees. more directly.
On the validity of these communications will be any judicial authorities called upon to express themselves but, undoubtedly, there will be more and more users who with the passage of time will end up feeling a shiver down their spine when they hear the notification of a new message on Whatsapp.
