Thank you all for your valuable inputs and opinions.
The intention of this post was to recall the attention to the fact that this rich nation, has not yet had the time and the will to establish and implement basic rights for workers, such as minimum salary, days off, the right to have a home and their families with them, holidays, medical, etc, etc, etc...
Basic things that will ensure human dignity, that will give a reason to the gondolas drivers to at least be happy when their working day is over; to the maids that at least could have a day off and meet with their friends...
To remind all of us that this nation still import batches of human flesh instead of individual humans that have right to be treated as such and have right to aspire to the basic human rights of having a home, a family, protection rights against greedy employers, etc... just like any other emigrant to any other civilized country!
After all isn't this country on the top of the great GDP’s list?
These are basic rights that have been established and implemented in many many other countries, with much less resources than this one.
Why can't it be done here?
Of course it is much more comfortable for some of us to look through these cases, as if they were invisible or part of the decor, to pretend that all this is normal and all this abuse its not that but whatever it is, reflections on its causes and existence just don’t take place in our busy and blind minds.
Personally, I think it’s a matter of time. Maybe it will take decades, maybe it will take centuries, but I believe that applying pressure by exposing the obvious abuses, will eventually force those in power to act upon.
And that is what I am trying to do here, contribute to that exposure, to the pressure!
Thank you all.
