Marc Filipson, founder and CEO of popular Brussels bookstore chain Filigranes, says he will step aside from his position following a harassment complaint lodged against him by his current employees.
A new director will now be hired to take charge of the business, Belga News Agency reports.
More than half of the company’s 95 full-time employees had filed a collective complaint against him with the Securex social insurance fund, relating to various forms of harassment and poor working conditions.
