Since 2016, WPHA has been working to involve and inform businesses, government agencies, work permit holders, media and other non-profit organizations to address the unfair deportation of foreign workers. The WPHA, participated in Almedalen Week 2018 and to represent foreign workers and employers’ perspectives to the attention of the public and policy makers.
Anställningsvilkor och Branch Praxis Employment Condition and Branch Praxis
It is important that foreign workers need to know about work permit regulation and labor market practice in reality. WPHA found that there is a big informational gap between these two subjects. WPHA believes that for this informational gap many work permit holders are in uncertain situation and many of them are already got deportation unfairly. Therefore it is important to discuss the issue. We invite every one join the seminar during Almedalen Week 2018.
Invitation to participate in the dialogue
WPHA is always open to integrate all interested group in the dialogue. As a part of it Diversify Foundation showed its interest to have a survey from both employees and employers perspective. WPHA thinks that the result of the survey will help other stakeholders to understand the subject in detail. Please check the following link for more information about the survey and Diversify Foundation.
Det finns många Ali Omumi som är ledsna för att de inte förväntade sig denna orättvisa.
För några år sedan när vi kom hit såg vi en rak väg att komma framåt. Vi trodde att det var ett bra beslut att investera vårt bästa i Sverige. Vi arbetade hårt och följde övningen som andra gör. System gav oss aldrig någon separat och speciell guidelinje som vi kunde följa. Idag har systemet förändrats och sätter allt ansvar på oss. Vi kan starkt säga att om det var vårt ansvar var det lättare att följa exakt. På en punkt säger systemet att arbetsgivarna misslyckades med att följa regelverket och på andra sidan straffar systemet arbetarna. Är det inte roligt och orättvist? Är det inte sant att de misstag de nekar att godkänna idag, i går hade de godkänt dem? Vi är inte säkra på vem som ska vara ledsen. Är det systemet som är rädd för att ta ansvar? Eller är det vi som ångrar sig för att fatta ett felaktigt beslut? En sak är vi säkra på att vi inte är ledsna för att förlora möjligheten att stanna här. Vi beklagar att systemet förnekar oss för att ge rättvisa. Vi är ledsna för att systemet gav oss straff även om de vet att någon annan gjorde misstaget eller felet. Det finns många Ali Omumi som är ledsna för att de inte förväntade sig denna orättvisa.

Vi kommer inte sluta förrän problemet är löst.
Problemet är inte så svårt att det inte kan lösas. Behöver bara politiskt god vilja. Att skylla på arbetare och utvisa dem tydligen är inte det enda sättet att kontrollera systemet. Om vi hade en ordentlig auktoritet för att se våra problem skulle dagens situation inte visas. På uppdrag av utländska arbetstagare uppdaterade WPHA-regeringen olika gånger. Tyvärr har vi fortfarande ingen lösning. Hur kan de överge oss? Hur kan de neka våra bidrag? Alla intressenter är inblandade i dagens problem och därmed skyller utländska arbetstagare och utvisar dem är orättvisa. Vi kommer inte sluta förrän problemet är löst.

Almedalen Week 2018
Dear Members,
We are happy to inform you that we got approval to participate in the Almedalen Week 2018. Almedan Week is the biggest and most important event in Sweden for political and socioeconomic issues. Although the parliamentary political parties are the main attraction of the event, you will get the opportunities to participate in different discussion and seminars. This important for us because this is the only place where we can explain our issues and demand for justice to the right people on spot. We will campaign there during the whole week, July 2 – July 6, 2018. During the campaign we will arrange some seminars on WPHA booth. Through our seminars and participation in other forums we will try to achieve the following goals:
- Raise members voice and problems to the authority.
- We will highlight that foreign workers are facing discrimination by the system.
- The political leaders and other important stakeholders should know that unclear law and unfair system cannot be justified to deport us.
- We will defend propaganda against foreign workers that we are threat to the local labour, illegal competition, taking social benefits and some more related to the issues.
- We will demonstrate how and how much foreign workers are participating in the economy of Sweden.
- We will relay picture that deporting foreign workers is against universal labour convention and Justice.

Viktiga medarbetare utvisas på grund av ett ord i lagen
Snabbväxande svenska företag försätts i kris då viktiga medarbetare utvisas. Bakom avslagen om förlängt arbetstillstånd ligger allt för ofta bagatellartade avvikelser från gällande kollektivavtal. Nu måste något göras snabbt för de 8 600 medarbetare som väntar på sina besked.
