Role Play
Nick: Hello!!
Chloe: Hey!!
Nick: All well?
Chloe: No, I am not satisfied with the working environment and policy of International
Organic Foods.
Nick: Why so? If you are facing any problem then let me know, maybe I solve the query, if
you want.
Chloe: Sure sir!
Chloe: I am pregnant and want to take Maternity leave. But earlier I am not aware of such
leaves and that is why it is not mentioned in my contract. But when I discuss the things with
Bruno Caron, he threatened me and told me that I am not entitled to take any maternity leave
and instead of this I have to take annual leave.
Nick: Okay.. but as per the contract it is true and your boss is correct but on the other side, as
per the employment legislation it is necessary to offer the Maternity leave to every lady. If
you don’t have any problem may I talk with your boss?
Chloe: No... there is no need to talk with Bruno because he keeps changing the employees
and delegate different roles and responsibilities for which an employee is not preparing. Also,
I want to know that company focusing on employee retention strategies but there is no
positive working environment that promotes me to work here.
Nick: don’t be so harsh and overthink Chloe. I know you spent a good time in this company
but there are some rules and regulations which abide by employees as well as employers. In
the same way, Bruno is just complying the same. I know it is not good to threaten the
employees because it is against the law and any employee may file a case against him. So
take care of these things. Apart from the behavior of Bruno, I am also aware of your
employment issue which needs to be resolved.
Chloe: Yeah...Definitely!! I know you are the trade union representative of UNITE and only
you provide the solution to my problem.
