At this time, Could 1 is well known because the Day of Labor and Worldwide Employees’ Solidarity. Nonetheless, this vacation has a distinct sound for Bulgaria. Why? The employees in our nation are abnormal wage laborers, victims of massive capital. And there couldn’t be a phrase about any type of solidarity between them, a minimum of as a result of such is lacking from the primordial guardian and guarantor of the employee – the State. The working folks of our nation are purely and easily a operate of a market that doesn’t care in any respect about their wants, a lot much less their rights. However what rights can we even speak about? Nearly 2/3 of the Bulgarians work within the service sector, the monopoly of which is within the fingers of the non-public sector, and the remainder are state or municipal staff, and they’re within the suffocating embrace of the Shurobajan party-oligarchy. Each fifth younger man is unemployed, dreaming of leaving his homeland and on the lookout for a residing overseas, forcing himself to make compromises and serve international masters uncomplainingly, and for small pennies, since in his nation he won’t get and this. However, if he determined to be a masochist to the top and devoted to phrases like “patriotism”, “honor”, “dignity”, then he’s doomed to search for a job for months, normally unqualified, typically low-paid.
At this time, we’re disadvantaged of our most elementary proper, that of respectable work!
Lack of labor turns folks into beasts combating for survival. Desperation provides rise to creating closing, generally irreversible choices. Concern is a number one emotion – worry of shedding one’s job, worry of 1’s personal safety, worry of being crushed by the state-political machine.
This example in Bulgaria could please or swimsuit somebody, but it surely can’t and shouldn’t be a state of resignation on the a part of the Bulgarian folks! Change is feasible and should begin from ourselves first, to move it on to our family members and heirs! “Union makes energy” is not only an inscription on the entrance of the Nationwide Meeting, however a name and a precept that we should apply, particularly once we are in hassle, and right now, we’re in determined hassle!
