In April 2009, the anti-racist organization Kif Kif and the socialist trade union ABVV, brought a civil action against Adecco, the global leader in employment, which was being accused of discrimination at work. It all started in 2001 when they found out that Adecco used separate lists for autochthons and immigrants. Autochthons were encoded with the abbreviation “BBB” (Blanc Bleu Belge), which refers, in the cattle industry, to a purely Belgian cow race. That way, Adecco was able to register if a company wished for foreign temporary employees or not. By going to court, Kif Kif and ABVV want to show that any type of discrimination at this level, should be handled and punished very seriously.
