Editor The Neglect That Killed 18 Workers

Another construction worker died today. He was forty-five years old. He was working on the addition of the seven-story facility on the “Ahmet Krasniqi”. According to Labour Chief Inspector Basri Ibrahim, this was the death of eighteen in the workplace within ten months.

Reading the first paragraph may have lost the interest of most people who made the news or who got in the wrong way. Who cares about the death of the workers? Let them die, big deal. They read sports news. For the show. For Ramush and Hashim. Kadriun and Albin.

However, when it is known that much in our country is manipulated, it may also be suspected that this figure has been manipulated. Yet, even as such, it is disturbing. We're not talking here about a highly lucrative activity worth risking your life for. We're talking about a job that just provides survival. Nothing more. We're talking about risking life from workers who get very small salaries that when they retire, they won't have money stored on the pension Trust, people who don't have employment contracts, which are therefore forced to work beyond schedule, people who have no health insurance if they get hurt or die. Put simply: We are talking about people being oppressed by the system and ignored by you.

Job contracts, health insurance, minimum and mass wage, private sector. All these words appeal to the frustration and frustration of the Kosovo citizen, who remains overly concerned with the entertainment and provocation of himself with the most sensational news. A post by Kim Kardashian or Rita Ora, a ball shot by convicted thieves [for tax evasion] such as Lionel Messio or Cristiano Ronaldo, a stupid statement by Hashim Thaci or Ramush Haradinaj, or even a strong nationalist statement by Albin Kurti put those words in margins, and leave these people in oppression, living and dying.

We can criticise the failure of state mechanisms, the failure of the labour inspectorate, the few of them and much more. But no, this time we want to criticize your everyday talk with each other. Your interest in talking about working conditions. For the production scheme. For your liquefying to get a job and a decent social place. To the narrow language of interpreting this situation. And on the other hand, about rumors about each other. For the daily inferiorization you make of these same workers, or of unemployed people, or of people who do other jobs you consider to be contemptible. For your interest in Ramush Haradinaj, Hashim Thaci, Albin Kurtin, Kadri Veselin, Kim Kardashian, Rita Ora and Lionel Messin.

These fun people, who don't mind, should only have fun in your spare time. Free time is that of post-work. When you talk, and you expand your meaningful horizons on work, on your circumstances, on your social position, on your production scheme.

The truth is, through this very daily talk, you've been excommunicating the workers. Those who separate themselves from those who are mentioned above them by their names and their names. You have excluded them from your language and your world.

The labour inspectorship would have to deal more intensely with the violations made by construction companies. It is entirely unlogical that a company that has registered only 3-4 employees in the Kosovo Business Recording Agency. [ Footnote] ARBK] is receiving tenders in the country's municipalities. But for the Inspectorate to truly work, it would require intense and intense pressure on competent mechanisms. A pressure that would begin with our daily talk. From the news you decide to read. From a reorient of attention.
