Farmer Protest Czech Edition

So, farmer protests have arrived in Czechia. I am not going to judge anyone, I think the farmer protest does have legitimate grievances but others have done it for me…

A familiar scene has been witnessed. People with Czech flags and flags relating to the historical Czech lands are being protested by individuals with EU flags and the flags of Ukraine.

And then there was this, there is a company that delivers groceries directly to people’s homes, Rohlík and they said they will no longer buy produce from one of the organizers, RABBIT CZ. People have noted that the owner of Rohlík is affiliated with the Aspen Institute.

In 2017, Rohlík was investigated for illegally employing Ukrainians. The owner said there aren’t any Czechs so he has to hire Ukrainians. I always like when businessmen claim there is a shortage of labour. Dear fuckers, self respecting Czech people don’t want your sucky job, where you spend the whole day in a warehouse or driving a car for a pittance. That’s why you are forced to import slaves from Ukraine. Why is it always shady fuckers that have bad business practices that rely on Ukrainians?

In 2022, an interview with Ukrainian warehouse worker of Rohlík has revealed the working conditions there are inhumane. The workers are treated like bio robots. Too many overtimes, tens of kilometers walked every day, and unexpected reductions to the salary.

Rohlík is no stranger to virtue signaling. During Covid they offered to transport vaccines. They motivated their recent ending with of the contract with RABBIT CZ by the support of smaller farmers. And of course, with the start of the Special Military Operation supported Ukraine.
