It is not a lack of praise that workers complain in these pandemic days. Praises have been many and from all quarters.
But there are many thousands of workers who these days gain in praise what they lose in rights.
Praise from even those who, under the guise of troika orders, cut wages, suppressed rights, increased working hours, but who now present themselves as the staunchest defenders of the rights they have liquidated.
