Red Nacional de Trabajadores y Trabajadoras Autoempleadas Renatta
@16DaysCampaign
- In this pandemic, the situation of home-based workers and street trades has been economically critical since we cannot not work anymore. The authorities dedicated themselves to evicting and closing the shops, leaving us home workers unemployed and/or with our accumulated products that we are not able to sell or deliver.
- Mostly due to lack of employment, many of us migrated to the city during this pandemic, but due to the unemployment faced, many had to return to their regions. The situation is more critical for people in renting as they face evictions due to lack of payment. Many returned with nothing.
- According to the Government, food baskets and bonuses were given, but our sector did not benefit, not even 1%. Popular soup kitchens were organized to survive, because workers in the informal economy are the most affected since what we obtain from our work is day to day.
- Here they do not respect these rights, they violate in order to defend their interests, because to date the workers of the informal economy are living very badly, many are unemployed, others are persecuted, unemployed or evicted. We are experiencing the worst violence in the workplace, for many our homes.
- We send documents without response; there is no dialogue. During the last few days, we joined the marches.
This soup kitchen was formed in the middle of a pandemic with workers from the informal economy in AAHH Incahuasi Comas
The support for these initiatives did not come from the state, but organized by the MBOs and friends
