Moreover anyone has the freedom to join a Trade Union to protect their rights, even though our number of employees is not high enough to have a Union representative inside the company.
We have also hired foreign employees and we work closely with many partners of other cultures.
Before hiring a person we care that is in good standing with all medical visits or we will have them tested accordingly.

Every year we submit our employees to medical visit and all medical tests that their role in the company requires.
