(I've started a case against them).

You alright then?

Erik

Nice to hear from you. How are you? Still in Liverpool? I moved back to Finland and now doing my masters in Helsinki.

What is this case you have against Arvato? They are evil, so well done. I really hope you win!

-Katri

thank you very much for your answer!

I'm still in Liverpool, I've been working as a company researches, taking calls to Scandinavian companies from home, since I was constructivly dismissed, from Arvato.

I'm complaining about the bullying, from team-leader Vivian Steinsland, and the shouting 'name, you're on wrap-up', that I was given to few rest-days, that team-leader Baines, Bon Prix, followed me home.

That STL Tippins, lied in a meeting, and that Rushby, HR and Tippins, tried to cover up for Baines, in a meeting.

And much more.

I'll find a link to this if you're interested.

I thought that maybe some of the Nordic women working at Arvato were in problems.

I remember hearing you say, to team-leader Line, that you didn't dear to bring your boyfriend to Helsinki, but only to Stockholm, in the Christmas holyday, or what it was.

But it could be that I heard wrong.

That's possible.

I've also been a bit worried for the other girls there, like Emelie, who was missing from work, for months, even if she worked there full-time, and Anna Riski, who started crying there, and also Marianne Hoeksas, started crying there.

But anyway.

I remember that you got a bit shouted at, when you were taking the Finnish calls, and rejecting the customers to activate Windows, that you were just sitting there, and taking the abuse, in stead of hanging up.

But then they would have maybe complained, but maybe the team-leaders should have helped you.

I'll add the links, so please tell me if there is something you know about the problems there, or with the girls working there.

Thanks again for your answer, and good luck with your masters!

Erik

I really hope you come out as winner in this thing. My ex-boyfriend(we broke up) worked for arvato and ian was his boss. It was horrible seeing how they treated him.
Is it costing you a lot to do this? Do you have an attorney? What are the chances of winning? After coming to Finland I realized that in England the worker is without rights and pay is really bad. I now work for a financing company and the law is always on the workers side, and pay is double to that in england. But then again the nordic countries are ahead so much.

I try to get founding from legal aid, which is free, if you get help from the law-firm.

But I haven't got any agreements with law-frims on this yet, but I haven't given up.

I've also been in contact with the Norwegian embassy, in London, who are supporsed to call me again now.

The police weren't interested to help, so they sent me to the Citizens Advice Bureau.

But both the police and the CAB, have been bulying me, since I think it really is a criminal-case as well, and not only an employment-case, because I was bullied almost to death there, or how I shoud explain it.

So it has taken me a lot of time, but not money, but time I could have used at work, but at least I've got it published on the publising-site.

I've been discusing the problems there, on the BBC message-board etc., and got told, that Arvato used illigal managment methods etc, that were bullying. (The shouting, you're on wrap-up etc).

I contacted Christine Hansen, the other day, she said it was like being in prison working there, and I think it got worse, after people like Vivian Steinsland became team-leader, and also after Ian Carrel became Managing Director.

(From around the summer of 2006, it got a lot worse working for MSPA, I'd say).

I had a meeting with Carrel, but he put Rushby, from HR, in charge of the investigation of the problems I'd reported, even if I had complained about her, in the e-mail to Carrel, that she was involved in the covering up, of the harassment from Baines.

I told the Police this, and they said that the CAB was 'government', which they aren't, they are a charity.

But it seemed to me, that the Police etc., could be involved in this.

And that this could be why there are problems like these in Britain.

I think people are protected, by laws etc., but that the system with the police, and the CAB and the Law Society and the LSC and the law-firms etc, is corrupt.

That's how it could seem to me.

I'll see if I contact Judith and Katariina.

I had some problems with Judith there, but maybe I can bring them up.

We'll see.

Now I'm trying to find new employment, since the project I've been working on since I had to quit at Arvato, has ended, but I'm going to try to deal with the case anyway.

I'm waiting for Arvato to send me my file there now, that I was adviced by a law firm in Wrexham, to ask them if they could do.

So I'll upload those files when I recieve them.

If you have the time to look at the files, and have any comments etc, then please just tell me.

I remember once I was working an early shift, at Arvato.

Then I went to Tesco, to buy food, and then you were in Matthew St., I think it was, and then you took a taxi home, I seem to remember.

But maybe the study-finance is good in Finland.

Not that it's my business.

But if you want, I can update you, when I know more about the case.
