A waitress who works on a Baltic Sea ferry is suing her employers after they refused to give her sick pay while she was recovering from cosmetic breast surgery.
The waitress, who was born in 1981, took two weeks off from work last autumn to recover from the operation, which she admits was not for medical reasons. When the ferry company, Viking Line, found out why she had taken sick leave, bosses refused to give her sick pay and docked the time from her holiday allowance.
Now, union bosses are taking Viking Line to the labour court. Documents submitted to the court this week and seen by The Local show that the union is demanding over 185,000 kronor in damages and compensation for lost wages. Of that, 85,000 kronor is for the waitress and 100,000 for the union.
Dag Gustavsson, press secretary for Transportgruppen, the employer’s organization representing ferry companies, says the law is quite clear:
“The Seaman’s Act states that a seaman is not entitled to sick pay if he or she has deliberately caused him or herself an injury. This was a cosmetic operation, and therefore the injury should be seen as self-inflicted,” he told The Local.
According to the woman’s union, Seko, the fact that the woman’s injuries were self-inflicted is irrelevant, and does not believe that maritime law should apply.
“An operation is an operation, and you should get the same sick pay for that whether you work on sea or land,” Seko’s Mats Ekeklint told The Local.
Prediction: The European Court of Human Rights will rule in her favor.
Wonder what kind of an operation. If it was a reduction, it could be considered plastic surgery and still be medically necessary.
If its elective then screw her
Is she the kind of waitress who does lap dances?
She had an operation the reason doesn’t matter. Pay her the sick time.
She was having 2 PFDs installed...And she wanted bigger tiPs.
I’d need to inspect the evidence
She should move to America. Obamacare will cover it.

Another woman using business as a piggy bank.
Need pictures to render a verdict, your honor.
no name given in story
however that “news of Sweden in English” web site has some lovely girls represented
“Need pictures to render a verdict, your honor.”
- Sometimes, words say more than a thousand dirty images.
My advice for a sick mind like yours:
Copy and paste this and cherish the aid of Google Translate (Swedish to English):
“En väldig neger gick i land i Stockholms hamn en dag.
Hans kuk, den var så stor så hororna fick nästan slag.
Han fråga mången brud från Kungsträgår´n till Tivoli,
men inte någon enda fitta fick han sätt´n i.
På Djurgårdsslätten Neger-Joe, sej sorgsen satt en stund,
när finska horan Åbo-Britta kom från Gröna Lund.
Hon drog upp kjolen för att visa byxorna var av -
han fick en whisky och dom ut i skogen sej begav.
Neger-Joe, Neger-Joe
finska horor ska du
tro tar emot en stöddig kuk
tills den sprutar och blir mjuk!
Neger-Joe, Neger-Joe,
vaselin i fittan kan
´hop med whisky och med dollar
göra underverk, minsann.
Åbo-Britta låg där och skreva -
Joe fick ståkuk och börja treva -
Stadigt han om rumpan tog taget -
stack in halva – så börja slaget.
Åbo-Britta skrek som för livet -
Joe, han sluta ej, det är giver-
Han fick jättekuken sin
ut och in -
in och ut -
och i Djurgårdsnatten hördes finskans vilda tjut:
MUTTA SPRICKA – MUTTA SPRICKA!
Mengar tillbaka – mengar tillbaka!
MUTTA SPRICKA – MUTTA SPRICKA!
Mengar tillbaka bums!
Joe, han stanna längst in i musen -
spruta våldsamt det gjorde susen!
Så fick Britta lägga upp gumpen
och fick kuken längst in i rumpen -
Fyra gånger gick det i röven -
se´n dom torka sej uppå löven
Natten glömmer Britta ej
Nej – nej – nej
Nej – nej – nej!
Hon minns evigt dessa orden,
har hon sagt till mej!
Neger-Joe, Neger-Joe,
gick med finskan ska ni tro
på en finfin Stockholms-krog
och dom söp tills dom fick nog.
Neger-Joe, Neger-Joe,
lärt på svensk-finsk dessa ord,
som han sjunger, när han knöllar i var hamn
runt kring vår jord:
MUTTA SPRICKA – MUTTA SPRICKA!
Mengar tillbaka – mengar tillbaka!
MUTTA SPRICKA – MUTTA SPRICKA!
Mengar tillbaka bums!
Joe vet ej vad orden betyder -
han blott tycker härligt dom lyder -
Sjunger med kuken längst in i buken -
bruden blir som vax:
MUTTA SPRICKA – MUTTA SPRICKA!
Mengar tillbaka – mengar tillbaka!
MUTTA SPRICKA – MUTTA SPRICKA!
Nu är för knull det dags!
Jo-jo -
Jo-jo -
Så sjunger kåte Neger-Joe!
Jo-jo -
Jo-jo -
Så sjunger kåte Neger-Joe:
MUTTA SPRICKA!”
