Red Zone

LettersRed Zone


Once you control the social partners, NTUCB and the capitalist institutions, you have it made. But, there is always a ?but? in the soup. That would be if the Opposition should bring a plan of work in their manifesto which shall benefit the common labourers, the unemployed, a reform of the ?Social Security? which shall benefit workers and family. Something similar to the ?Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social? and all workers must be unionized, plus a space near by each civilization with an association for the development of family farms.


Then ? we think there will be a difference, followed by a good understanding on behalf of the citizens so that they can know the benefits and their rights with the setting up of such plan. This time please don?t come and tell us it?s too expensive. We already know that it?s better to spend it on us the majority, than on a few.


We, the common labourers and unemployed, don?t understand about an ?economic rescue plan?. We know about hunger and illness; we know about poverty and the consequences to what it leads us.


Editor Sir, permit me to mention two words ? ?Red Zone?. It?s a whisper in loud voice that no one wants to talk about. The industries that use more workers in our country are the shops, stores, restaurants and bars, hotels, casinos, special service places, etc. The majority of these places are controlled by foreign cultures which found a space in our system and are now nationalized. It is no secret that many of these places are violating the laws, and it?s no secret that our authorities look elsewhere because of many reasons.


Having no control over the labour force of these establishments, permits these industries to exploit the workers in benefit of the accumulation of the employers? wealth. Only conscious representatives that you the people (voters) put with your vote, can change you from earning slave wages, to be recognized economically as part of the development of your (our) nation.


Those that serve the master will tell you to have ?love for work?. They will tell you don?t worry about the pay. They will say that you shall get recompense in heaven. Tell them that our earthly bodies have and will always need earthly services so that they can continue working.



Respectfully,
