“…A subsidiary transport was organised on the Polish side of the border by Ukrainian companies operating transnationally, to facilitate cross-border mobility and arrival at workplaces. A similar situation was reported during the first wave of the pandemic and the mobility of workers from Poland to Germany, who were able to count on the support of employers and private intermediaries (Nowicka et al, 2021).…”

“…Their absence due to the closed borders, instantly brought them to attention and recognised how they were valuable, important or even essential to certain sectors of the economy well known for reliance on migrant labour (Molinero-Gerbeau, 2021). During the first couple of months of the pandemic, amid the strictly closed borders to minimize the mobility and spread of the virus (but also delimiting who was eligible for state protection, that being citizens and limited groups of non-citizens; Nowicka et al, 2021), a series of exemptions were made for those who were deemed essential, i.a. migrant farmworkers, but who were simultaneously targeted with policies restricting cross border mobility (Molinero-Gerbeau, 2021).…”

“…0.5 EUR) or per hour of work (below 3 EUR on the researched farms) is dictated by the deepening deficit of seasonal workers and increasing competition for them. Unlike in the case of transnational labour mobility to the care sector (Nowicka et al, 2021), the interviewed fruit producers did not introduce additional monetary benefits for employees in the spring 2020 season to encourage them to make the effort to get to Poland at a time of impeded international mobility.…”

Este artículo, basado en el trabajo de campo etnográfico que los autores realizaron entre los trabajadores agrícolas migrantes estacionales en Polonia, analiza el impacto de las soluciones de vía rápida del COVID-19 adoptadas en el sector sobre la situación general de los trabajadores agrícolas migrantes en la agricultura. Basados en la evidencia del campo así como en el análisis de políticas realizado en los últimos meses, argumentamos que las soluciones de vía rápida y las exenciones adoptadas en Polonia (como en muchos de los estados miembros de la UE) durante la pandemia de 2020-2021 no son únicas, sino que manifiestan la política de excepcionalismo agrícola de larga data. Esto tiene implicaciones prácticas sobre la salud y la seguridad de los trabajadores agrícolas migrantes y, paradójicamente, puede traducirse en un empeoramiento de sus condiciones de trabajo y de vida en las explotaciones. En este contexto, queremos arrojar luz sobre las dificultades de los trabajadores agrícolas durante la pandemia, para comprender mejor su posición, que resulta de la intersección de factores que aumentan las vulnerabilidades de los trabajadores agrícolas (temporalidades, aislamiento, baja sindicalización, intensificación del trabajo). Para comprender mejor el impacto de las soluciones especiales en el fenómeno del trabajo estacional, es necesario tener en cuenta la perspectiva de los empresarios. En conjunto, estas observaciones nos permiten trazar un cuadro más completo de la situación de los trabajadores agrícolas durante la pandemia en Polonia, un nuevo país de destino de inmigrantes.

“…In Germany, racial categories were mobilised and ‘Eastern Europeans’ were blamed for the spread of the virus across borders (Lewicki, 2023). But as the domestic and agriculture workers were essential to the economy, the border closures were only temporary and never really fully stopped the commuters (Nowicka et al., 2021). In turn, the pandemic confirmed the liminal status of Poland as reservoir for manual labourers and their market value, while reminding them that the border could be closed at any time.…”

This article discusses the present‐day positionality of Polish immigrants in Germany and the discursive possibilities for articulating their experiences of discrimination as racism. As interviews with these immigrants do not capture explicit accounts of racism, and there is practically no research on racism directed at Eastern Europeans in Germany, this article scrutinizes the epistemological context in which the voicing of discrimination is embedded. They include the imagined liminality of Poland in Europe, the binary and coloured understandings of racism in Poland and Germany, and the socialisation of Poles to lean towards silence on racism. Based on empirical data, the article discusses three intersecting forms of experiences of racism: disappearance through effort, devaluation of experience, and cultural precarity. Finally, the article argues that metaphors of liminality, stigma, stickiness and cultural precarity offer a nuanced understanding of Eastern European positionalities in Western Europe.
