Because if they don't pay the fees, they don't have any more visa to stay here.
So just try to understand.
I am telling you the background of what
I experience as a migrant, the how the situation is here.
So if you get a really good job here
as a student in any food chain or whatever the problem is, when you are student,
you don't speak the language and you do not have any professional education.
So you will get maximum €14, €15 per hour a job here.
So you are allowed to work 20 hours per week.
So a student can earn
maximum up to €1,000 a month.
If they get a full job. Then they have to pay €800
installment in the private university.
And because they don't have a job contract
you don't get a flat here.
It is not possible simply to get your own flat
because of having this financial stability or a job contract.
So there are many houses, many flats in Berlin.
In one room there are 4 to 5 people.
They live together and they pay up to 400, €500
just to get one mattress in that room.
So you are paying,
to this university.
You have to pay for this house rent.
You need money for your existence here.
You need food.
And then you have to send money back home to pay this debt.
So, I mean, these people, what will they do?
They will definitely go to these "fleet partners" and they will work for them.
So the basic reason why I became so angry
about this thing and why I started to blog about this thing,
is when I see
how difficult it is for the people to get in the fleet.
I mean, you just cannot find a job in the food delivery sector!
When I help some students in my office,
when I look back, three years back, four years back, it was quite easy.
It was possible.
I just call in 1 or 2 companies or maybe Zeitarbeitsfirma and explain them
Hey, I have this student, he is a strong guy.
He can work in a warehouse, but he don't speak language.
And it was easily possible to find a job for the people.
But now when I try to call a "fleet partner",
they say, okay, look, we will charge you €500.
Now, I heard that it's it cost €1,000
to get one ID.
usually it's a fake ID now. After this movement,
they are trying to have a control on these things.
But usually in the years 2022, 2023
the evidence that we gave in the court for Shiwanis' case is that in that fleet
it's all fake IDs!
So there is nothing.
There is no limit of work.
You get paid for your order.
Each order maybe you get 4, 5 Euros.
And then at the end of the week
the fleet partner
takes 30% money away from you. They say: "Because we are paying you
cash in hand, you don't pay any taxes, so you have to pay us 30%."
If you don't want, you can look for another job.
So just imagine they have to pay €500 to get in the fleet,
and then they get only 70% of what they earn, - without having a job contract.
And if you need a job contract, people need it for their visa extension.
Then, after one semester, you are going to Ausländerbehörde
and you need a job contract.
So we asked the "fleet partner"
can you please offer a job contract to this guy
for the 20 hours per week that is allowed and he will still continue
working 40 hours, 50 hours in a week, whatever you need.
And then they say, no, we don't need
we don't make any job contracts.
It's too expensive for us.
So we buy the job contracts from the "fleet partners"
if he's willing to give us a job contract,
which is brutto 1,200 Euro,
then he will calculate the full taxes,
the employee's tax and and the employer's tax.
I have everything on my fingertips.
Just ask me how much brutto, how much Lohnsteuer...
So because this is this is the thing that we deal
with this thing and, and the worst thing is,
we talk
about this thing for two years, we talk in the public.
We organized a bike rally
with the food delivery jackets, with our costumes,
starting from that fleet partnership coming to the world headquarter.
Have a protest there.
Then we get very big support from media, many newspapers,
they write about our,
incident that happened.
We filed a lawsuit.
We were in the labor court.
Nothing changed.
This is not the Germany that I expected that I live.
