1 | Israel: Bloggers Back the Struggle for Workers’ Rights | Israel: Manohana ireo mpiasa mitokona mitaky ny zony ny mpitoraka bilaogy |
2 | One of the issues Israeli bloggers truly care about and campaign for is workers' rights. | Anankiray amin'ny zavatra tena hifantohan'ny mpitoraka bilaogy Israeliana ny fitakian-jo ataon'ireo mpiasa. |
3 | In recent years, several emerging workers unions from less expected sectors such as café waiters, security personnel and journalists, have blogged as part of their struggle and were able to create a vibrant discussion and rally support in the blogosphere. | Taona vitsivitsy izay dia sindikan'ny mpiasa maro miasa amin'ny sehatra tsy miankina toy ny mpandroso sakafo any amin'ny café, ny mpiambina, ny mpanao gazety, no namahana bilaogy ho fitakiana ny zony ary nahavita namorona ady hevitra matanjaka sy nahazo fanohanana tamin'ny mpitoraka bilaogy. |
4 | | Amin'izao fotoana izao dia zavatra 2 no mibahana ao amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy Israeliana: ny fanohanana ny mpampianatra ao amin'ny anjerimanontolo ho an'ny daholobe, izay efa nitokona nandritra ny 5 herinandro izay. |
5 | At present, two topics are stirring up the Hebrew blogosphere: supporting the academic staff of the Open University that has been on strike for five weeks and counting, and boycotting AMPM drugstores (the “seven eleven” of Tel Aviv) for their workers' rights infringements. | Fitokonana izay hita taratra sahady fa ho ela vao hisy vahaolana; sy ny fitsipahan'ny AMPM(Fikambanan'ny mpivarotra fanafody sy ny super marchés any Tel Aviv) izany fitokonana izany satria tsy mba manaja ny lalànan'ny asa mantsy izy ireo. |
6 | The Open University is the biggest Israeli university with 42,000 students nationwide and a staff of 1300 academic personnel. | Ny anjerimanontolo ho an'ny daholobe no anjerimanontolo lehibe indrindra any an-toerana satria misy mpianatra 42 000 sy mpampianatra 1300. |
7 | As traditional media abandoned this dispute after two weeks of strike, over 30 Israeli bloggers took it upon themselves to keep this struggle on the agenda and the discussion alive. | Raha tsy niresaka intsony ny momba ny fitokonana ny gazety mahazatra taorian'ny 2 herinandro dia mpitoraka bilaogy Israeliana maherin'ny 30 kosa no nanohy izany mba hanome hafanana ny fitakiana sy ny ady hevitra. |
8 | Keren Fite, PhD in English literature, writes on her blog: | Nanoratra tao amin'ny bilaoginy i Keren Fite, manam-pahaizana ambony amin'ny literatiora anglisy: |
9 | “For 13 years I was led by the notion there is no choice: that the Open University has its unique economic constraints and it can only hire me when enough students register for my course. | “Nandritra ny 13 taona dia noheveriko fa tsy nanam-pidiny aho: tsy afaka nandray ahy ny anjerimanontolo raha tsy feno ny isan'ny mpianatra hanatrika ny fampianarako satria manana hevitra ekonomika niainany izy. |
10 | Due to these constraints I often get notified about my course's opening only a week before the semester starts, and until than I am left wondering if I will have a salary for the next few months. | Vokatr'izany dia herinandro monja alohan'ny fanombohan'ny 6 volana hampianarana aho no ampandrenesina, ary mitaintaina foana raha handray karama indray amin'ny volana manaraka. |
11 | Due to the same constraints I'm fired and re hired (or not) at the end of every semester. | Vokatr'izany ihany koa dia voaroaka aho isaky ny vita ny 6 volana ary miandry indray na mbola horaisina (na tsia). |
12 | But the university doesn't care about my constraints: I'm not entitled to call in sick or any other basic social rights for that matter, and when I was pregnant the university refused to renew my contract for the next semester. | Kanefa tsy raharahan'ny anjerimanontolo ny momba ahy: tsy mahazo marary aho ary tsy nandray fanampiana ara-tsosialy mihitsy, ary rehefa bevohoka aho dia tsy havaozina intsony ny fifanarahana hiasa ho amin'ny 6 volana manaraka. |
13 | At present, when I am on strike, the university doesn't respect my right to strike, to say no to these disgracing employment conditions. | Amin'izao fotoana izao raha mitokona aho dia tsy hajain'ny anjerimanontolo ny zoko hitokona sy hanao tsia amin'ireo zavatra mampietry voninahitra ataony ireo. |
14 | Since the beginning of the strike I've been getting threatening emails, demanding to know if I am striking de facto and later notifying me that they will not be paying my salary if I'm on strike. | Hatramin'ny nanombohan'ny fitokonana dia nahazo hafatra fampitahorana aho manery ahy hilaza fa raha mitokona aho dia tsy mandray karama. |
15 | In other words, they know they are my main source of income and they're waiting for me to be hungry enough to break the strike. | Raha atao amin'ny teny hafa dia hoe, fantatr'izany ireo tsara fa ao ny foto-pivelomako ary andrasany izay hahatonga ahy ho noana tsara dia mijanona ho azy tsy manao fitokonana intsony avy eo. |
16 | Thus, the Open University that stands for making higher education accessible, denies me of the access to fair employment and the right to economical well being.” | Noho izany, ny anjerimanontolo natao ho an'ny daholobe hahazoan'ny rehetra mianatra amin'ny ambaratonga ambony no tsy manome asa sahaza ho ahy sy ny manakana ny zoko tsy hiaina ara-dalàna.” |
17 | Labyrinth, an Open University student writes on her blog: | Manoratra ao amin'ny bilaoginy i Labyrinth: |
18 | “It is possible that my graduation will be postponed, that my grades will drop or that in a month from today I will not breathe under the pressure of catching up the missed lessons. | “Mety hihemotra ny fanadinana, mety hihena ny naotiko na koa ato anatin'ny 1 volana dia mety ho sempotry ny fanenjehana ny tsy vita aho. |
19 | But it is possible that my teachers will be able to breathe a bit between a lesson and an exam, because their salary will be a bit fairer. | Kanefa efa miomana koa fa ny mpampianatra dia miala sasatra kely anelanelan'ny fampianarana sy ny fanadinana, satria hiakatra kely ny karaman'izy ireo. |
20 | I might also be able to recommend my teachers to other students knowing that they have a steady job and will be there for sure the next semester. And it is also possible that the academic staff union will open the door for other strong and worthy unions in many private colleges that suffer the same consequences. | Afaka manoro hevitra ny namako aho hanantona koa ireo mpampianatro ireo mba hahazoan'izy ireo asa tsy voaelingelina ka afaka miantoka ny 6 volana. mety hiseho koa ny hoe hisokatra amin'ny sindikan'ny mpiasa matanjaka kokoa ny sindika, amin'ireo toeram-pianarana ambony tsy miankina izayhiharan'ny zavatra iainanan'ny anjerimanontolo koa. |
21 | So maybe one day when I'll be in their place (yes, I'm considering this…) I will be happy i paid the price for this strike since I'll be paid back decently for my work”. | Angamba indray andro any raha tonga eo amin'ny toeran'izy ireo aho (izany no faniriako…) dia ho sambatra aho satria nandray anjara tamin'ny fitokonana, satria hiainako tokoa amin'izany fotoana izany ny ady nataoko”. |
22 | And Tomer Reznik adds on his blog: | Manampy izany koa i Tomer Reznik ao amin'ny bilaoginy: |
23 | “As I was wondering how I can write an interesting post about a struggle for the obvious (collective agreement, job security etc), it suddenly came to me: the fact that the academic staff has to fight for the obvious is the whole point here. | “Raha nanontany tena aho hoe ahoana no fomba hanoratako zavatra mahaliana mikasika ny zo fototra (fifanarahana iombonana, fiahiana eo ami'nny asa…) dia taitra tampokatamin'ny fitakian'ny mpampianatra aho: tsy maintsy mamaly ny fitakian'izy ireo ny anjerimanontolo ary hampitsahatra ny fitondrana azy ireo ho toy ny mpisolo toerana!” |
24 | The open university must meet their demands immediately and stop treating them as if they were temporary contractor workers!” | Milaza i Limor64, mpikambana ao amin'ny fikambanan'ny mpampianatra ao amin'ny anjerimanontolo efa ho 11 taona izao: |
25 | Limor64, a member of the academic staff of the Open University for 11 years, notes: “We don't want to be the University's shock absorbers anymore. | “Tsy te ho fitaovana hanamaivana ny anjerimanontolo intsony izahay. tena miroborobo ny anjerimanontolo natao ho an'ny daholobe, kanefa izany fahombiazana izany dia avy amin'ny fianarana ny maha olona. |
26 | The Open University is a successful enterprise but its success is on the expense of its human resource. | |
27 | We're not getting paid for 5 weeks now, the future of this semester is unclear but we look into the future hoping for a secure and rewarding workplace. | Tsy nandray karama izahay efa ho 5 herinandro izao, tsy azo antoka ny ho avy amin'ny 6 volana manaraka, kanefa mihevitra toeram-piasana tsaratsara kokoa izahay amin'ny ho avy. |
28 | Organized labor is so important nowadays on a global scale, since both employers and governments make the workers pay the price for the current economical crisis”. | Tena zava-dehibe mihitsy amin'izao fotoana izao ny zo eo amin'ny asa, ary iraisam-pirenena izany, satria ny mpiasa no manentsina ny lavaka vokatry ny krizy ekonomika eo anatrehan'ny mpampiasa sy ny governemanta”. |
29 | In addition to these blogging efforts, various Facebook solidarity groups were created and Roy Chicky Arad, a journalist-blogger involved in counter-culture activity, has organized a guerilla poetry reading titled “the closed university” that was held on May 12th in front of the private residence of the Open University's president. | Manampy ireo mpitoraka bilaogy ireo dia misy fiarah-mientana koa ao amin'ny Facebook. ny iray amin'ireny, Roy Chicky Arad, mpanao gazety sady mpitoraka bilaogy tafiditra ao amin'ny mpanohitra-kolotoraly, no nampanao fifaninanana mamaky ilay tononkalo mitondra ny lohateny hoe “Anjerimanontolo filamatra”, natao ny 12 may lasa teo manoloana ny tranon'ny lehiben'ny anjerimanontolo ho an'ny daholobe. |
30 | In the past few days a new viral bloggers campaign emerged, promoting a boycott on AMPM drugstore chain, on account of severe right infringements of their workers, mostly of Jewish-Ethiopian ethnicity. | Andro vitsivitsy lasa izay dia fanentanana fanoherana ireo fivarotam-panafody no nataon'ireo mpitoraka bilaogy: tsy mividy zavatra intsony any amin'ny AMPM vokatry ny heloka bevava nataony izay ny mpiasa ao aminy ihany no voa mafy, mpiasa jiosy-etiopiana ny ankamaroany. |
31 | Blogger Sharon Gefen who initiated the boycott, writes: | Ilay mpitoraka bilaogy, Sharon Gefen , niandohan'ny hevitra tsy hividy any no nanoratra: |
32 | “I ignored their overpricing or the fact that their increasing presence forces the closing of favorite family-owned drugstores, but workers rights infringements isn't' something I can live with. | “Tsy fantatro ny fanaony amin'ny fampitomboana faktiora na ny fitomboan'isany tsy an-kijanona ka manery ireo mpivarotra tantanan'ny fianakaviana hikatona, fa tsy zakako fotsiny ny hoe manitsakitsaka ny zon'ny mpiasa izy ireo. |
33 | Say, if the cashier is a few minutes late to her shift, she pays a fine of 150nis. | Ohatra fotsiny, raha sendra tara ny mpandray vola dia mandoa lamandy 15 shekels. raha tsy tonga miasa dia mandoa 45 shekels, izay avo 2 heny amin'ny karamany. |
34 | If she cannot make it to her shift she's fined with 450nis, which is more than double the money she earns for that shift. | Ampy izay. Aleoko ihany mividy sigara( ronono, mofo…) any amin'ny toeran-kafa, indrindra fa hoe mahatsapa ny rehetra fa “Tsara ny miaina eto an-tanàna” araka ny sora-baventy fanevan'ny AMPM, na dia mpiasa ao aminy aza izy ireo ”. |
35 | Enough is enough. | Carmel L. Vaisman |
36 | I'd rather buy my cigarettes (and milk, and bread and tampons etc.) someplace else, so that everyone will feel ‘it's good to live in this city' as the AMPM slogan states, even if they are AMPM workers”. | |
