Customs determined: Pensioner as a straw woman in the Ulm Barbershop!

An exciting scandal in Ulm! The main customs office has uncovered massive violations during controls in 13 barbershops and men's hairdressers. A particularly scandalous case: a pensioner was used as a straw woman - trained hairdresser, but never present in the shop! Serious problems regarding undeclared work and minimum wages were found in five of the certified companies, which now leads to investigation.

The hairdressing industry is shown in an alarming light. Only one manager was present during the controls, while the other “bosses” remained in the background. The Ulm Chamber of Crafts describes the problem: Many barbershops use the system to get a competitive advantage. They warn that the industry is generally susceptible to undeclared work. A spokesman for the main customs office illustrates how important decent accounting is - without correct hourly recordings, the payment morality of the companies is not verifiable. A system full of tricks and illegal methods - and the customs authorities are now hunting to fix the grievances. Details about the processes are in a report by www.schwaebische.de to read.
