A young Nigerian removed from Vismara after denouncing offenses
Daniel's story: the company covers those who tormented me
"Two years of abuse at work because they are fired
color"
LECCO - For two years he has collected and bagged. Every day. Always there in its place, in one of the largest delicatessen Italian. Bagged salami and mortadella. Grossed racial slurs and degrading insults. The more vulgar, and even the most trivial, is "nigger" has the signature of the murderers of Guibre. E 'that has marked the inside, which made him feel comfortable sfogatoio to the frustrations of a colleague, who later became a group, and then it gets even heavier. This is the story of Daniel - just the name -, Nigerian Lagos, 24, a child of two.
Daniel is not illegal: it is in Italy regularly since 2003. He lives in Villasanta, the Monza, with his wife and son. Pays a rent. He has a job, or rather, had. Why did they fired. Daniel a working-class driver. In 2006 he began working at St. Vismara p. A Casatenovo, Lecco. It is divided between the department and the oven. Sgobba from morning to evening.
Never a problem, never a point, he says. And energy efficient, as every six months to renew his contract. But there is an unexpected obstacle in the establishment with which the African citizen has to face: racism. Giving him "dirty nigger" at the beginning, it's just a colleague. Daniel insult to him is the rule. Other workers will soon begin to apostrophes in the same way. A trickle of offenses for which immigrants, despite repeated requests for explanations, he can not escape.
swallow, outlines the day when they say: "You want to understand you or not non-M can not stay in Italy?". Just because he asked a colleague to help another employee in trouble, a Peruvian who could not carry packages of bologna. "Who do you think you are? Tho command of the Italians?". Daniel
afraid to denounce those who torments him: he does not want to risk losing their jobs. One day turns to the head, but it minimizes: "Come on, not noticing how they are made ... you know ... You think the guys do your job to know." But in late June agreed that the jar is filled. It happens when I enter the dressing room and find his locker destroyed. An act of vandalism, the final insult. He has not ever received disciplinary action, he earns € 1100 and - after 12 contracts - is still being paid by the agency temp "iWork" Arcore.
On June 28, Daniel has a complaint to the Prosecutor of Lecco: recounts in detail the heinous offenses that crashing down. He hopes that something will finally change after quell'esposto. That dignity is no longer violated. But you add insult to injury. The other day Vismara's from the "testimonial": "At the end of month no longer present in the company, inform him of the department head. The worker believed to be a joke in bad taste, and instead it's all true.
"I suffered for two years in silence, without a rebel - he says - just I did not want to risk losing their jobs. But I do not have longer to bear to be insulted like that. And so now I am jobless. I do not have with Italy and Italians. Italy has given me the job, the ability to feed myself and my family. I have it with the ignorance of those who insult you because you have a different skin color than their own. I have a wife and young son to support. My wages have always won me honestly, it hurts me that they have taken me just because I had enough to racism. Moreover there are other non-EU workers in the plant. When I went to court I thought of them, even though everyone reacts in their own way and in the end everyone does business her ".
Vismara's offices, to which we turned yesterday to seek clarification on the matter, for now has not arrived no comment. The irony of the case - it must be said that the company at least for now has no responsibility - as a melody background of expectation telephone are heard the words of Vasco Rossi ... does not take much for being intolerant ... to be slightly 'ignorant ...".
Daniel's lawyer, Francesco Mongiu, summarized the history of this strange dismissal and submit an employment tribunal. "By" coincidence "- says the lawyer - the brother of my client, a citizen of Sierra Leone, he graduated in good standing, after a trial period in the same sausage, was considered inappropriate to the task of mortadella sausage.
