The municipality Heerlen says an employee, who works for them on a temporary basis, that her contract after 1 November will not be extended. The woman is a Muslim woman of Moroccan descent with a headscarf. There is not enough work due to a need for austerity. In addition, there is insufficient confidence that the woman can move along with the culture change that the municipality makes. It is said to the woman today that the “think- and the woman's working method does not correspond to that of the municipality“. The woman takes this as a reference to her headscarf and migration background. A manager would also “You Moroccans” said and did not investigate a native colleague. The woman needs a discrimination complaint.
