Unpaid Workers in Ukraine Fight Back

HERSON, UKRAINE: After being denied wages for almost five months, a group of factory workers stormed their combine harvester plant demanding compensation. This is only the tip of the iceberg for a country in deep economic turmoil. With both political factions playing the blame game, no one is left to do anything productive. The government has squandered millions in IMF aid. This video from RT doesn’t offer much of a plan either, but it does have some really hard hitting images. In all the hype over the Middle East it is easy to miss the less violent countries that are suffering just as much. This worker take over is one of the first signs of outrage in Ukraine, but it will not be the last.
