<< atgal “Special forces” in Kaunas stormed petrol stations and drivers' rest parking places
2010-05-28
On May 20, association “LPSK Youth” held regular “special forces” campaign. This time, Kaunas branch members during the May campaign visited city’s “Orlen” and “Statoil” petrol stations and visited long-distance drivers’ recreation site near the IX fortas (Ninth Fort).
The Initiator, and a regular participant - LPSDPS Youth Council chairman Juozas Adomaitis, who is also "LPSK Youth” leader.
According to his plan to develop "the paratroopers' “special forces” actions came out during the “Summer patrol" international events - summer camps by the sea. There he observed that there is not good with long discussion agitate people to join trade unions at their workplaces and thus hinder their work. In addition, they encountered in conflicts with the security workers who are ordered by seeing the trade union agitator as soon as possible to expel them from the supermarket.
One of the most active members of the Kaunas branch Rytis Deltuvas after the campaign commented: "The surprising is that we met no worker who did not know what the trade unions are. Most employees were willing to discuss the opportunity to engage in trade union ranks. While there were few, that did not engaged into debate and threw brochures into the drawer. Maybe because of indifference, or because customers were waiting for."
Many times participating in a campaign "LSPK Youth” Kaunas city branch chairwoman Laura Sadauskaitë, thinks that the campaign was successful. People were interested, everyone knew what the trade unions are, but part of the stations staff did not know that the union is operating in their company. Just because the staff learned about it, I think this campaign is successful. "
J. Adomaitis is pleased that the participants managed to reach rapid agreement on the route and its function as a team member: "Probably the fact that recently visited the seminars, intended to improve team work.
"I had more time to chat with long-distance drivers, who rested in recreation ground next to the IX fortas. Most talked to Lithuanians who already knew about all uniting drivers union. It is likely because of extremely active in the area Drivers trade union chairman Ramunas Narbutas work - shared his impressions Juozas. - Drivers from other countries, seeing that some things are distributed, were also intrigued. So it was not long that discussion developed about the Lithuanian and foreign trade unions."
Association "LPSK Youth” chairman think that campaign was a success: "The fact that people are interested in and aware of the trade unions suggest that the recent trade union activity is seen. In addition, the ratings indicate that they rely on relatively significant percentage of the population. But this, unfortunately, is not enough, because the percentage of workers involved in trade union activities, is still very low. "
Another "special forces” action youth is planning in June, but already in other companies.
