Hard Rock Cafe Amsterdam



Until very recently indeed, the Hard Rock Cafe in Amsterdam was one of the few employers here who openly hired Gay men who were Hiv+. Gay+'ers could be assured of sympathetic employers and colleagues, flexible working times, openness and honesty.

However, the Hard Rock Cafe (at least in Amsterdam) seems to be conducting a 'purge' of Hiv+'ers in a vicious and heartless way.

People report being pushed around to get them to leave of their own volition, or being tricked into getting their contracts ended without hope of disability pay.

Threatening phone calls, mails, letters - the usual corporate stuff.

Shame.
