00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:06.960
My name is 
Queen P.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.480
Today we 
are here

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:11.880
in the Labor Court, 
here in Berlin.

00:00:12.040 --> 00:00:15.520
Today I was 
having a case

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:18.680
with my boss. Because 
my boss didn't want to pay me.

00:00:19.703 --> 00:00:24.750
That's why I took my
matter to a labor court.

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.600
I was working with a 
company called 'Grün Deli'.

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.480
Unfortunately, I 
was feeling sick,

00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:36.800
I was having
a pain in my leg.

00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:38.800
Then I went 
for an operation.

00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:41.480
Then the company 
refused to pay me.

00:00:41.480 --> 00:00:44.120
They said I was 
on an unpaid leave.

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:48.720
But I used to send every document 
to them from the doctor

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.040
to show them that I'm
not on a vacation, I'm sick,

00:00:52.040 --> 00:00:55.560
but my boss refused 
to pay me, then I

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.880
took a step with the help of my 
friends to take my boss to court.

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.240
The first time when 
my boss fired me,

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:07.440
I went to International 
Women* Space,

00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:10.920
as I'm a member there, 
then we started to

00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:14.560
talk about this, then they were 
helping me to take my boss to court.

00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:19.160
Then after that, 
many other groups

00:01:19.160 --> 00:01:24.280
like 'Migralab' 
and 'Payday',

00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:29.160
the others I forgot the name, 
but they were there with me

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:30.720
and supported me.

00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.840
Let me say the 
trial was good,

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.080
to be honest, 
because, yeah,

00:01:37.080 --> 00:01:40.800
at the end I will end up getting 
my money because I win the case.

00:01:40.800 --> 00:01:42.800
I'm a winner today!

00:01:43.476 --> 00:01:46.282
Yes, even though 
my boss tried

00:01:46.370 --> 00:01:51.320
to bring some issues, 
but he failed! I win the case!

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:54.360
The only thing that 
I can say is that

00:01:54.360 --> 00:01:57.120
if you need help, you 
have to go out there

00:01:57.120 --> 00:02:00.120
and there are some other 
organizations who can help you.

00:02:00.197 --> 00:02:03.527
Don't be a slave, especially 
at your workplace.

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:08.920
Sometimes they are doing this 
because we are having our stay...

00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.688
They know that we 
have a vulnerable permit,

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:16.360
so that's why they are 
trying to play with us.

00:02:16.430 --> 00:02:18.560
So if you need 
help, just go out.

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.600
There are so many 
organizations out there.

00:02:20.600 --> 00:02:24.360
So many people who are helpful 
out there, they will help you.

00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.100
Even me, I came here, I was 
alone, but now I have family!

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:29.560
Thank you.
