Zovem se Agostino i imam 51 godinu. Moj posao je dostava hrane biciklom. Imam dve kćerke, ali jedva da razgovaramo. Njihova majka i ja više ne živimo zajedno jer smo razvedeni.
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.
Živim sa majkom jer ne mogu da platim kiriju nakon razvoda. U ovom gradu je veoma skupo iznajmljivanje stana.
I live with my mother, as I cannot afford to pay rent after the divorce. Rent is very expensive in this city.
Pre nekoliko meseci radio sam kao domar u jednoj kompaniji. Popravljao sam stvari koje su bile pokvarene, nosio kutije i pomagao kada je kome bilo potrebno. Jednog dana kompanija me je otpustila. Nisam razumeo zašto.
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.
Video sam mnoge ljude kako dostavljaju hranu biciklima. Znam da vozim bicikl, pa sam pokucao na vrata velike dostavne kompanije. Ponudili su mi tri evra za svaku isporuku. Zarađujem 40€ dnevno, 60€ ako imam sreće i ako mi mušterije daju napojnicu.
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.
Ne dobijam plaćeni godišnji odmor, niti bolovanje, jedva da imam ikakva prava. Mislim da to nije u redu, ali mi treba posao. Većina ostalih zaposlenih su imigranti iz celog sveta.
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.
Mnogi dostavljači bivaju povređeni u nesrećama svakog dana. Onda, kada je 25-godišnjeg dostavljača udario automobil i on poginuo, nadležni su počeli da nas primećuju. Šteta što je morao da umre pre nego što se to dogodilo.
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.
Zajedno sa dostavljačima iz drugih kompanija sam pohađao kurs o pravima radnika u lokalnom sindikatu. Ponudili su nam besplatne pravne savete. Borili smo se da dobijemo više priznanja i prava.
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.
Nakon mnogo vremena sav naš trud se isplatio. Jedna velika dostavna kompanija je morala da plati ogromnu kaznu i da radnicima da stalna zaposlenja. Bilo je to prvi put da se to dogodilo bilo gde u celom svetu. Izgleda da stvari počinju da se poboljšavaju.
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.
