Ewa has worked via a number of employment agencies, and was also employed directly by a grower for a year. She has worked for abflexkracht since 2016. “I really like working for abflexkracht. I don't have much contact with the office because there's no reason to: business is good. But I know that if there is an issue, I can always turn to my abflexkracht employee coordinator, Zbigniew. It's a comforting thought that when I need to ask for help, I can do it in Polish.”
The certainty of a steady job
One of Ewa's biggest hopes is that, when her current contract ends, she can keep right on working for abflexkracht with no interruption. “My husband and I just bought a house of our own and, in a year, our child will start school in the Netherlands. Stability is very important to me. A permanent contract, whether with the nursery or with abflexkracht, would give me that sense of certainty and peace of mind. And that is what I really want: the certainty of a steady job so that I can truly work to build my future in the Netherlands.”
