“An employee is not a tool.
Support 11.11.11 in their battle for decent/dignified work”
more after the break
This Belgian campaign is a prolongation of an international campaign for decent (dignified?) work launched in januari 2007 at the Worldwide Social Forum in Nairobi. 11.11.11 Is a Flemish organisation combining all organisations working on the North vs South issues.
The campaign also includes a website (Dutch and French) and two amusing yet painful radio PSAs, available in Dutch only.
- Can I help you?
- I’d like to buy a batch of telephone operators.
- For use in sales or as a helpdesk?
- It’s actually for a promotional campaign.
- In that case I would rent, I’ve got some really good men from eastern China…
...
An employee is not a tool.
Support 11.11.11 in the battle for decent work. Help us on account number 000-000011-11
- Excuse me sir.
- What can I do you for?.
- I heard you’re selling cheap Polish labourers…
This campaign was made by goodwill. All parties involved did the work for free. Hence the long credit list, they - at least - deserve the visibility.
A big plus about this campaign is how easy the people at 11.11.11 made it to distribute it. Something which might seem but sadly isn’t that evident and sometimes even a problem. Even in this day and age.
Update
Houbi points to another iteration of this campaign on hebbes, one of the larger Belgian online marketplaces. It’s in Dutch but I guess you can catch the idea…
I’ll get you started, the object for sale is called “Multifunctional employee”.
See it live here.
