Babboe tried to fire a mechanic following he tried to report several abuses. But the judge finds that the cargo bike manufacturer may not dismiss the employee, reports RTL News.
The mechanic regularly saw defects in bicycles in 2021 and 2022. He raised these abuses with managers within Babboe, but hardly anything was done regarding them. The employee was silenced and dismissed as a difficult employee.
According to Babboe, the employee caused conflict and caused escalation. The company therefore wanted to fire the mechanic and went to court for that reason. The technician actually thought he was being treated poorly because he identified the problems. Babboe didn’t want to hear regarding those problems.
The verdict in the case was Tuesday. The judge agrees with the employee and rules that he cannot be dismissed.
A few weeks ago, the NVWA regulator discovered that the frames of hundreds of Babboe cargo bikes had broken. The manufacturer therefore had to recall a large number of cargo bikes and sales were temporarily halted.
Babboe would do little with the various reports of insecurity, twelve employees previously said RTL News.

ROME (AP) — For nearly six decades, the Tirelli workshop in Rome has been woven into the history of Italian and international cinema, earning the nickname “Oscar tailoring” for its contribution to film costume design.
Founded in November 1964 by the late Umberto Tirelli, the workshop has been behind 17 Academy Awards for best costume design. In their most recent collaboration, their artisans worked with Janty Yates and Dave Crossman to create the costumes for Ridley Scott’s epic “Napoleon.” Hollywood designers are aiming to win an Oscar at this weekend’s awards ceremony.
“Maybe I’ll win! Let’s add another medal to our collection,” said the current head of the business, Dino Trappetti, in an interview. “Of course, the Oscar is not won by the tailoring, the Oscar is won by the costume designer. But the tailoring has the merit and the honor of having participated to make him win.
The origin of the workshop was in Tirelli’s passion for collecting old clothing. He searched for pieces in aristocrats’ attics and flea markets around the world, patiently building a collection that now numbers more than 15,000 authentic pieces dating from between 1750 and 1980.
At first, the business had “one sewing machine, two cutters and two seamstresses,” Trappetti said.
Today, at the Tirelli Costumes headquarters in the Prati neighborhood of the Italian capital there are mannequins dressed in some of the workshop’s most famous creations, such as the delicate pink floral suit that Tom Hulce wore when playing Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in “Amadeus ”, by Milos Forman, — which earned Theodor Pistek the Oscar for best costume design —, or the red velvet bodice and feather dress worn by Michelle Pfeiffer in “The Age of Innocence” “), for which the designer Gabriella Pescucci also took home the statuette.
When “Amadeus” won that Oscar in 1984, Tirelli might have made the international leap “because the market was immediately interested,” Trapetti said. But Tirelli, who died in 1990, was not convinced.
Trappetti recalled saying: “I’m not going to the United States. If the United States wants, let it come and get me.”
And so it has been.
In 60 years, the atelier has created more than 300,000 outfits that are now stored in a warehouse in Formello, near Rome, where double-height racks loaded with clothes stretch across almost 7,000 square meters (more than 75,000 square feet). Costume designers go there for inspiration, historical information and creations cut and sewn by hand by Tirelli’s team of seamstresses.
“These suits cannot be made in a factory. In a factory you can make movies with robots, futuristic or fantasy. But these things have to be done by hand,” Trappetti said.

Three people have died – a small child, his father and his grandmother – and another 15 have been injured this Monday in the fire on the eleventh floor of a building in the Alicante town of Villajoyosa (36,093 inhabitants). According to sources from the Emergency Information and Coordination Center, the alert call was received at 2:15 in the morning from a large block of flats at number 1 on Marineros Avenue in the municipality. The victims lived on the eleventh floor and are from the same family: grandmother, son and grandson, as confirmed by City Hall sources. The investigation of the incident is carried out by the Judicial Police of the Civil Guard.
The president of the Generalitat Valenciana, Carlos Mazón, has stated that the overload in the living room socket was the cause of the fire. Mazón has traveled to Villajoyosa, where he has visited the damaged building. According to the head of the Valencian Executive, the investigation by the judicial police has not yet determined which appliances or devices were being charged in the aforementioned socket. According to the regional president, the fire alarm “worked.”
Sources from the Provincial Firefighters Consortium have reported that the incident has forced more than a hundred residents to evacuate, “for their safety and depending on the location in the building.” Others “were confined to their homes,” they add. The fire generated, according to the same sources, a lot of smoke and many flames, and affected common spaces of the building, such as the landing.
Neighbors of the building have explained what the fire was like, Europa Press reports: “The cloud of smoke that rose was what worried me,” said Pedro, a resident of the 24th floor. Pedro explained that in his home they heard the alarm ringing. fire alarm and that, at first, they ignored it because it sometimes rings, but when he alerted once more, he went out into the hallway and began to smell “like burning rubber.” “That’s when I got scared,” he says.
“We heard the ladies screaming from the balcony, where all the fire and smoke came out. They screamed: ‘Help, help.’ We started to notify all the neighbors as we might, I had to wake up the girl who was in bed and I saw that there was already so much smoke that it was impossible to go down. My entire hallway was already full of smoke,” she noted. Likewise, she has said that on occasions they went up to a private terrace “to breathe well” and she has admitted that the Campanar fire came to mind. “I knew that I wasn’t going to get to that point because it wasn’t the same, I mightn’t raise the fire to the top, but of course, the cloud of smoke that rose was what worried me. In fact, we have a whole throat, chest and everything, my mouth still tastes like rubber, but we didn’t think it might affect us so much up above, but we were worried regarding everything that is and we didn’t know if people had stayed in the hallways,” he explained.

One of the men treated is a police officer who has been discharged on site.

Relocation of affected people
