Work commemoration on Labor Day has become a thing of the past after the war exacerbated the conditions of Yemeni families working in the government and private sectors by cutting salaries, slaughtering commercial families with royalties, and bankrupting a large number of companies, which put workers in Yemen before the option of militarizing with the parties to the conflict in order to obtain a monthly salary that would be paid. A life gap for their families.
The first of May is no longer an occasion for the workers of Yemen to celebrate their International Day, but rather it has become a painful memory that reflects how the energies of the productive class in Yemeni society have been wasted and wasted and turned into inactive elements lying helplessly on the pavement of poverty and unemployment.
80 workers lost their jobs, equivalent to more than 10 and a half million workers, as a result of the war sparked by the terrorist Houthi militia on September 21, 2014.
70 percent of workers in private sector companies who resorted to fleeing abroad were also laid off, according to information issued by the United Nations last year.
The loss of workers’ jobs and the arrival of many of them into a state of extreme poverty made them vulnerable to deception and forced to join armed groups in order to secure their families’ livelihoods. This is what the Houthi militias exploit to push many fighters to their collapsed fronts in order to divert the hands of the workers from their correct path as a tool. Contributing to building and developing the nation to a demolition pick with its hand on the trigger.
Observers believe that the decline of the working class, which represents the middle class in society, will lead to an imbalance in the social system and contribute to the differentiation of society into a poorer class and a richer class, which may herald the occurrence of a revolution of the hungry that the iron fist of the militias nor the beneficiaries of the war on the other side will not be able to control. Stand in front of her.
For the tenth year in a row, workers are in the category of unemployment and neglect, caught between the hammer of the Houthi militias, which have caused the absence of many job opportunities in the areas under their control, and the anvil of the absence of the government’s role and the responsibility placed on it in providing security and creating job opportunities in the areas that have been cleared of The militias of death make the Yemeni worker suffer both things without any signs or treatments that contribute to alleviating their suffering.
