My friend posted something on her Facebook that totally disgusted me.

An HR company here in Belgium has posted a list of companies that specifically demand NO foreigners or black people when looking for new employees.
They use the code BBB to indicate this.

Here is the list if you are interested:

I was shocked to find out that they have been getting away with this!
So much for living in the 21st century!

That is rather disgusting...

and I thought it was just the Eastern Block countries that did stuff like this!!!!

 

[Veronica]

wow! thought that was against the law

^ It is covered under The Human Rights Act of 1998 from the ECHR.

I'm not sure what is happening to the companies but I believe ADECCO (the HR company) is in some serious trouble now

 

[Pumpkin]

Aaah yes, Adecco have a 25000€ fine to SOS Racisme (a French organization) for illegal discrimination in hiring.

I can't read French but I'm pretty sure there are some shitty people running that company.

But the sad thing is, apparently this is common practice within HR companies!
I also think the companies who ASKED for no blacks should be facing repercussions!

"Blacks" is not the preferred nomenclature.
