My co-worker, an irregular
This is a story of my co-worker who became an irregular
It happened suddenly
“Last summer, one of my workplace employees suddenly became irregular. She had come to Finland from Africa to study and also had a working permit. Her working permit allowed her to work very few hours as a cleaner. Yet she started working for us as a builder’s assistant and after finishing her studies she became a full-time employee.”
She won't be coming
“Then suddenly I got a word that she won’t be coming to work any more and I was strictly told not to schedule her any shifts in the future. I still wouldn’t know what happened if my friend didn’t work in the agency that was leasing this girl to us as an employee. “
No longer able
“We never spoke about this with names, only on at a general level, but it was clear to me who we were talking about. A while back she got her papers in order and now had the ability to work for us again. Sadly, in the current economy, we are no longer able to provide her work.”
I hope…
“I hope that in all these difficult situations in the last six months she has been faced as an equal human being. I hope she has received adequate support and help in the process of once again becoming a regular migrant. Because that is her right as a human being in this world.”
