Employees send anonymous letter - accuses municipal management of surveillance: 'If it's true, it will have consequences' | BT Politik - www.bt.dk 'Today we are very insecure. We looked insecure that we would not go to top management. We no longer dare to speak confidentially near our computers'. These are just some of the sentences that appear in an anonymous letter - sent to a number of politicians in Aalborg Municipality. The main essence of the letter, which was mentioned on Saturday night, is that an unknown number of employees in the Job and Welfare administration accuse the IT management of monitoring employees via audio and video. 'It is unclear whether it was on the premises, or whether it was installed on Aalborg Municipality's computers and other technology (...) And in any case, we know that the IT management in FB (then Family and Employment Administration, as now is called Job and Welfare, ed.) were behind it ', the letter continues:' It was discovered that some of us and colleagues experienced that confidential conversations were referenced by someone at management level in the IT department ', reads it also in the letter. Furthermore, it also appears that the case is known - but hidden - in Aalborg Municipality. According to the senders of the letters, the case has been closed and it surprises them that no one intervenes. One of the politicians who has received the letter is Kristoffer Hjort Storm (DF), who is a councilor in Senior and Care. He found the letter on Tuesday in his mailbox and makes no secret of the fact that he takes the matter seriously. Councilor Kristoffer Hjort Storm (DF) believes that it is under all criticism that city architect Peder Baltzer is released for a year with salary. But he stresses that it is not a decision he should get involved in. "These are some serious accusations. But at the same time it is very up and down. We do not know who the senders of the letter are - or in what context this has happened. It's very open. "" That's why I chose to share the letter. In the hope that they will approach in confidence. ”Councilor for Jobs and Welfare, Nuuradiin S. Hussein (S), tells B.T. that he is shaken by the contents of the letter and guarantees an immediate inquiry. “I take it very seriously. We must not have a culture where it must be unsafe to go to work. And if it turns out to be true when the investigation is complete, then it will have consequences. ”Nuuradiin S. Hussein explains that he has asked the administration whether the accusers are wearing anything. Here the answer is that there has been "a case in the administration" two years ago, which has been handled. However, the councilor does not know whether this is the case in the letter in question. 'I have not been aware of this. The months I have been councilor, I have not heard that there should be insecurity in our department. But it is clear that we are acting on it and getting it investigated. ”According to the senders of the letter, it is so bad that they do not dare go to the management - and you are among the management. Can they not get to the management? Nuuradiin Hussein received 2,245 personal votes in the local elections and was thus the second most popular with the Social Democrats in Aalborg. ‘I don’t think that means me, other bosses or directors. I think it's the IT department itself. That's how I read the letter. ”Have you talked to the IT department? "I did not speak to them directly. We received the letter on Thursday, and on Friday I was out of the house, so I was prevented from attending a meeting on the matter. "" But my plan is that I should already speak to the department referred to in the letter on Monday. " Nuuradiin S. Hussein concludes that the administration is hiring an external company to initiate an investigation as soon as possible. Kristoffer Hjort Storm, who has previously sat on the employment committee in the municipality, says that he has not heard of the case before. That is why he is happy that an investigation is being launched. “If it turns out to be true, then the administration has not handled it very well. So it's good if Nuuradiin can correct the sinners of the past. «Jakob Illeborg B.T.'s verdict Be good at your home SPORT ABROAD B.T.'s verdict Review confirms New claim: Expert warns How I did Handball Big mystery abroad Shock accusation sounds alarm: While you slept ABROAD Berlingske Media A / S Pilestræde 34 DK-1147 Copenhagen KTlf. +45 33 75 75 33 CVR.no .: 29 20 73 13
