“Better handles a dog than we have in” confession of wing workers in Pristina

“> in Kosovo is better treated by a dog than an arm laborer, who does physical work”, says Besimi from Pristina, while sitting in a corner of an object close to the “Ir Konushefci” near the Ottoman Mosque in the capital.

Faith is one of dozens of Kosovars who had gathered in this meeting place, who had the same purpose. Faith, along with others, was waiting for someone to offer manual labor, which he says is difficult.

However, in the inability to find a stable job, the 53-year-old takes the same route towards meeting with other workers every day. He goes to this place every day before 7:00 a.m., just as his belief in Insider shows.

It's hard, I don't know how to start, we gather here every day and we expect someone to pick us up to do any work. For the hardest part, it's during the winter season, because it's a time when we don't have anywhere to work at”, says Besimi for the Insider.

Beliefs and other workers often occur to them that in a few days no one will take them to give them jobs, but they do not stop the disturbed and undesirable work they do. They don't even stop the low income this job brings.

It shows that most days return home without earning a penny, but even during the days they take to accomplish some work, they pay very little. The belief states that on Monday, November 27, he had worked on a sewer to earn only five euros from his employer.

“Often it happens when we work all day, and we are paid only from five euros”, says Besimi for Inseder. “Removes further than yesterday, I with another worker went to open a sewer, we worked all day, and at the end of the day, the gentleman who took us, paid us only from five euros”.

Being advanced in years, he finds it even harder to select for work. For me, it's harder because I've now spent my 50s, and when a man comes to look for workers, they rarely get me, because they get employees who are younger than”.

Despite the hardships that he and his fellow workers face in their work each day, faith demonstrates the reason for keeping it with hope.

“It's very difficult for wing workers, they have no one's support today, every morning a large number of young people come out to work, they don't choose what to work, but it's important for them not to turn their hands on the house”, relates 53-year-old.

While Sociologist and Pristina University lawmaker Albert Mecini has told Inseder that this phenomenon is disturbing. According to Mecin, this phenomenon shows the economic and social situation of the state of Kosovo.

This phenomenon when people take to the streets as hand laborers is really disturbing, as it shows their serious economic and social status”, says sociologist Mecini. “There is a general consensus that unemployment as one of the main problems facing the country, is forcing people to find institutional and dangerous alternatives for them, only to ensure their existence and their families”.

The Mecin speaks of legal and financial problems these <x0 manual workers can face.”

Suppose we do so in case of work injury or deteriorating health, such ones are without legal and financial protection. While it is also disturbing that the responsible institutions are silent in the face of this” phenomenon, Mecin said. /Insider. com
