Unfortunately, not many of us can join the procession. Work Migrants Day, contrary to labor laws in Russia, ending much later than 19 hours. Also, Many of us can not go outside because the part in a street fight can end our deportation, and therefore, the disruption of our ability to feed their families. But at the same time, the inaction of people working 12 hours a day, 7 days a week, in fact deprived of any rights secured by law - from free health care to pension contributions - can not last forever. This vicious circle of modern slavery labor Workers and the practical impossibility of fighting for their rights in this country must be found out.
