Any strike must be prepared.
After the elections, Belarusian workers marched for the first time in 30 years and joined the protesters across Belarus. The Minsk Tractor Plant of Wheeled Tractors workers showed Lukashenka, who came to them, who is the boss at the enterprise and in the country. The website
Charter97.org talked about the situation at the factories with the leader of the independent trade union REP
Henadz Fedynich.
- How do you assess the scale of the performances of the Belarusian workers in August-September 2020? Can we say that we have a fsolidary and responsible working class?
- I would not be in a hurry to say so because any strike must be prepared. Our strikes were not properly prepared, and everything was done in a hurry; therefore, in my opinion, the result is not what it could have been.
