The Spanish labor inspectorate and police arrested seven people at a call center in Madrid on Thursday for allegedly exploiting foreign workers.
The employees, who did not meet their sales targets, were systematically humiliated and harassed: they were forced to kneel down while pies were thrown or pressed into their faces in front of their colleagues.
The employer deliberately used these public humiliations to massively increase the pressure to perform and push employees to achieve better quotas.
