(en) Ukraine: Roman Kamynin - armed justice
Date Tue, 6 Jun 2006 16:57:41 +0200 (CEST)
Given today's work environment, people often have no choice but to work in
substandard conditions: overcrowded work spaces, using damaged or broken
down equipment. Most have to spend the majority of their day at work,
doing unfulfilling work and making objects of little utility to most
people. The average worker is under the complete control and often
unreasonable wimsy of managers. The financial compensation received by the
average worker is often not even enough to scrap out a modest existence.
In other words, work today is mostly a steaming pile of dung. As if all of
this wasn't enough, there's an especially dubious yet common practice in
the former USSR, whereby companies fail to pay workers their salaries for
work already completed.
Recently, a typical multi-month failure to pay a salary coupled with
personal insults have prompted Ukranian worker Roman Kamynin to kill one
of the bosses at his firm. (More details here:
http://rdforum.narod.ru/txt45-1.htm). Roman is currently serving a 10 year
prison sentence. The Network for Workplace Resistance (project of
Autonomous Action) is campaigning to raise funds to support Roman and his
family.
Please write to us, if:

- you're a member of a creative group that can organize a benefit
