Government representatives are not only silent and do not provide solutions to the problems of the Spaç miners, who have been protesting for weeks, but are also shamefully trying to justify the company's actions. This was clearly reflected in yesterday's session of the Economy and Finance Committee, where miner Albert Bushpreni recounted an episode with a government representative.
During his speech, Bushpreni recounted the conversation with one of the government representatives.
"One of those ladies tells me, I don't know her name, she tells me, you weren't paid badly. Why do I tell her how do you know? Yes, she said, they told me this past month for September you received 2 million or so lek. Yes, I told her, it's very true, I have it here, I'm showing it to you. And I told the lady, do you have patience? Either get it on WhatsApp, print it, read it in bigger letters, or break it down here on my phone. You only saw the amount at the end. And it's true that I received it, but did you see how many days I worked? I worked 32 days. And one of those days is a holiday that I did work and I am required to pay. Both work and a holiday that the law recognizes, and the vast majority of these are the second and third shifts. That lady took it, tried to break it down and told her colleagues, this is nonsense," said Albert Bushpreni.
Bushprend's story clearly shows that the representatives of the majority have not only abandoned the miners, but they do not even bother to understand the essence of the problem. Instead of prejudging, they should listen to the demands of the miners, who are demanding the establishment of a union to protect their rights at work.
Meanwhile, the company, instead of engaging in dialogue, not only refuses this request, but has launched a campaign of unfair dismissals and psychological pressure on workers.
All this happens while MPs, who appear in Parliament and Committees wearing designer clothes and receive salaries of over 5 thousand euros accompanied by other benefits, show no sensitivity towards the miners who work underground, in three shifts, without days off and with constant risk to their lives.
