« Want higher wages than get a compliment »
The working bargain is far from over, said Esperanza Barralaga Ocón, a caretaker in care, in her speech at Ingolf Square today on the occasion of May 1, but she is a sponsor and board member of Efling.
« False trade unions are still trying to steal our rights, forcing scared staff to sign contracts, and silence those who demand fair wages and respect, » she says, clearly referring to the respect of a union, or « artificial rights », according to Elling people.
Men, who have served on the Efling Negotiating Committee, said they have seen and heard that many women suffer and cannot express themselves for fear of losing their jobs.
« They want a higher salary than only receive compliments, which is not valuable: » You speak well Icelandic … « to hear in these women have made me more determined to fight for all the people who do not have a voice in Iceland, » said men.
« When it is silenced in one of us, we will all be weaker, » men said in their speech today on the occasion of May 1st.

Today would have to be dedicated to all the people who continued to work.
« Let this day be more than just a celebration. Let him be a promise – a promise to fight for those who cannot, to fight injustice and to demand justice. Because when it is silenced in one of us, we all become weaker. But when we stand together – no one can ignore us. »
