من ناوم ئه‌گۆستینۆیه و ته‌مه‌نم ٥١ ساڵه. کاره‌که‌م گه‌یاندنی خواردنه به پاسکیل. من دوو کچم هه‌یه، به‌ڵام ئێمه به ده‌گمه‌ن قسه ده‌که‌ین. من و دایکیان چیتر به‌یه‌که‌وه ناژین چونکه جیابووینه‌ته‌وه.
My name is Agostino and I am 51 years old. My job is delivering food by bicycle. I have two daughters, but we hardly ever speak. Their mother and I no longer live together because we are divorced.
A few months ago I was working as a janitor for a company. I repaired things that were broken, carried boxes, and helped when anyone needed it. One day the company fired me. I did not understand why.
I saw many people delivering food by bicycle. I can ride a bicycle, so I knocked on the door of a big delivery company. They offered me three euros for each delivery. I make 40€ per day, 60€ if I am very lucky and the customers tip me.
من هیچ پشووێکی به مووچه و مۆڵه‌تی نه‌خۆشیم نییه، و به زه‌حمه‌ت هیچ مافێکم هه‌یه. پێم وانییە ئه‌وه شتێکی ڕاست بێت به‌ڵام پێویستم به کاره‌که‌یه. زۆربه‌ی کارمه‌نده‌کانی تر کۆچبه‌رن له هه‌موو جیهانه‌وه.
I get no paid holiday, no sick pay, hardly any rights at all. I do not think that is right, but I need the job. Most of the other employees are immigrants from all over the world.
Many delivery people are injured in accidents every day. Then, when a 25-year-old deliveryman was hit by a car and died, the authorities started noticing us. It is a shame he had to die before that happened.
پێکەوە له‌گه‌ڵ خه‌ڵکانی گه‌یاندن له کۆمپانیایه‌کانی تر، کۆرسێکم وه‌رگرت له‌لای یه‌کێتیه‌کی ناوهخۆ له‌سه‌ر مافی کارکه‌ران. ئه‌وان به‌بێ به‌رامبه‌ر ئامۆژگاری یاساییان پێشکەشکردین. ئێمه ڕه‌نجمان دا تا پێزانین و مافی زیاتر وه‌رگرین.
Together with delivery people from other companies, I took a course on workers’ rights with a local union. They offered us legal advice free of charge. We struggled to get more recognition and rights.
After a long time all our hard work paid off. One big delivery company had to pay a huge fine and to give workers permanent jobs. It was the first time that had happened anywhere in the whole world. It looks like things are starting to improve.
