The Dutch Way or the Highway - by Michael van der Galien

A Belgian auto parts supplier who has forbidden his employees to speak another language than Dutch (Flemish)while at work. If they ignore the rule, they can be fired.

The employees who are most upset with this rule are from Turkish origin: they believe that the new rule is aimed against them and they have asked a union to intervene. Geert Vermote added: “”It’s really nothing other than other rules we have, such as a ban on smoking.”
