Second wave of social inclusion staff give notice

A second wave of workers have given notice they will quit the government Agency for Social Inclusion, the institution tasked with dealing with some of the country’s worst social problems, over ongoing differences over its management. In the latest wave, 14 workers have given notice which means that 24 out 68 staff have now resigned. Staff leaving said the most recent moves by minister in charge of human rights Jiří Dienstbier, deputy ministers, and the newly appointed head of the agency, Radek Jiránek, only exacerbated their grievances. Jiránek was appointed on Wednesday. Matters have come to a head since the sacking of the previous long-term head of the agency, Martin Šimáček.
