Yesterday, in the post was a letter from the City of Oulu saying that Anniikki could collect a walking stick from the Disabled Person's Social Office.
It appears that the City of Oulu, which has made life almost unbearable for Caregivers for the year 2006, had decided to give them a pair of walking sticks as part of their bogus 400 year celebration of the City of Oulu.
We collected the sticks yesterday afternoon.
This morning we received a notification in the post to collect a parcel from the local Post Office.
It was another pair of these walking sticks!
It appears that the City of Oulu Officers have given themselves huge bonuses as part of organising this bogus celebration. However, stealthly they have cut the time that Old People are allowed to stay in Old People's Homes, making life for the Caregivers almost unbearable, as they have to work free for an extra week per month on a 24 hour schedule, foregoing their legally earned holiday!.
The walking sticks were the sop to the Caregivers.
Annikki obtained the notification from the Old People's Home about the change of schedule for Caregivers. She insisted on getting the written background to this change as she had seen no mention of it on any news media.
Yesterday afternoon, after getting the sticks, we visited the local Office of the Caregiver's Association.
The lady we met was completely taken aback with the further overloading of work onto Caregivers. She said that the Association had not been notified of this change by anyone. No legal basis had been obtained by anyone to execute this change!
I believe that Finland is supposed to be the least corrupt nation in the world. But this incident reveals how the Bureaucracy in this country works. A totally corrupt basis of working by paying themselves totally unnecessary bonuses while trying to bribe a seriously affected section of the population with walking sticks!
