the bloquista leader argued that “we must explain to them [the bosses] that hiring people the day was a common thing in the nineteenth century, which, throughout the twentieth century, the legislation was amended so that the people be respected “and that bE will not accept,” the twenty-first century, back to hiring by the hour or day as in the nineteenth century. “
” what is needed is to respect the rights of all workers, they work in ports or elsewhere. No worker is less than the other. Everyone should be respected, “he said.
