Netherlands: Convenience store chain against Moroccan workers

Netherlands: Convenience store chain against Moroccan workers



Several branches of the AH (Albert Heijn) To Go convenience stores were told not to employ staff of Moroccan origin, the AD reports Thursday.


AH To Go shops are small grocery stores located in train stations throughout the Netherlands.


The words 'No Moroccans' were written in bold letters on a work schedule, and then emailed to 31 AH To Go shops on June 4, the paper says.


A second email which included the text 'Urgent! No Moroccans!' was sent the same day to branch managers who questioned the policy.


An anonymous AH To Go employee told de Telegraaf that "there are already enough young Moroccans working here."


"It could be threatening for customers," he continued.


Albert Heijn headquarters said they do not tolerate ethnic discrimination, and are "shocked" by the development.
