There’s, this shortage of workers that the country is in need of, what, with the outbreaks, there’s just, NOT enough workers getting sent here, and so, people resorted to hiring the illegals! Off of the Newspapers, translated…
A lot of the citizens, because their loved ones are hospitalized, or that they are short-staffed in the shops that they owned, they’d NOT checked the statuses of the workers thoroughly enough, and accidentally, hired the illegal workers, the nurses’ aides, the Labor Department of Hsinbei City posted a case, a food shop trusted that the worker they’d hired was a migrated resident, and she was found to be an illegal, the shop was fined $150,000N.T., and, the whole month’s worth of food sales, gone; the city of Hsinbei estimated, last year, there were a total of fifty-eight cases where illegals were hired to work, and the owners of these businesses, or the households, fined, the highest amount paid to the government was five million dollars N.T., the government agencies reminded the owners of the owners of the companies, to check thoroughly, for the status of the foreign workers they’re to hire.
The head of Department of Labor of Hsinbei City, Chen stated, that most of the cases that got fined were the locals in need of nurses urgently, and called the number on the pay phones at the hospitals, with the labels of “approved agencies from the government”, and accidentally hired the illegals.
Wen’s eighty-year-old father contracted pneumonia, was sent to the E.R., Wen, who was waiting for the hospital stay papers at the hospital, worried that there is no family to care for his father, he’d found the business card getting passed out for nurses with “government approved agency, a call, workers sent”, he’d, immediately, called to inquire.
The woman who’d picked up the phone asked about Wen’s father’s condition, along with which hospital he was staying, and the bed number too, stressed that the agency had been up and running for years, that the workers are all foreign spouses, all legal nurses’ aides, and in just no more than three hours of agreeing to receiving the services, came a Vietnamese woman who is very fluent in Chinese, and can speak in Taiwanese too, “Anya”.
Wen felt relieved, leaving his father in the care of “Anya”, left the hospital for work immediately, then, he’d received a call from the specialist task forces, stated, that Anya was a runaway for many years, with an illegal status, Wen explained how she was sent from the nursing center, and, called the number, the person who’d picked up the call told him that the registry and the status card will be sent to him soon, then, lost all contact.
While the food shop that was fined told the Department of Labor, that they’d hired the woman who claimed that she was married over from Vietnam, a migrated person, and because of the food shop’s trusting in what she said, they’d not checked the status, and the woman started working the following day, about a month later, the Department of Immigrations came, and after checking the identification, the woman who was hired was a runaway migrant, and the food shop got fined $15,000N.T.s.
And so, in these two cases, the employers are seemingly, the victims, but are they? I mean, you SHOULD check for the validity of the statuses of these foreign workers in the first place, but because of your emergent needs, you’d, trusted their words, and ended up, getting, fined. This is a huge problem, especially in this aging society, there will be need for more workers, and, because of MERS-CoV, nobody’s getting shipped here, and, people are short-staffed, which makes it, even easier, to “accidentally”, hire those, illegals.
