Angry cook from Carinthia tortured apprentice in kitchen
A kitchen of a restaurant in the south of Carinthia was the nasty location of an inhuman mistreatment.
The cook, who is also the owner of the restaurant, tortured his apprentice in the kitchen only because he had a bad mood.
He took the hand of the apprentice, and pressed it around a hot handle of a sieve. The apprentice screamed because of horrible pain, and had to be brought to hospital. He sustained heavy burnings on the inner surface of his hand.
The case was reported to the official representation of employees. “Such kind of things are not unusual in Austrias catering and hotel industry. Austria is full of angry cooks who don’t accept official working hours for their apprentices, and don’t pay the full salary”, says a spokesman of the official representation of employees in Austria.
In this case the victim decided to quit his job in the restaurant. The young man also made a report to the public prosecution department, and demands the rest of his salary, compensation for his holiday and extra hours claims, and a compensation for the mistreatmen of three monthly salaries.
