around 1000 people work in the textiles industry in ship macedonia most of them women. hardly anyone more than the legal minimum wage of $200.00 here i was a month. which in terms of purchasing power is less than in bangladesh or china. christina on paper is campaigning for fat pay she worked as a seamstress for years but was fired for speaking out against low wages now christina is fighting in a different way funded by donations she set up a network called clothes and text elect meaning voice of the textile workers. of much of the car in the car i couldn't form a works council the workers didn't even know what that was or how employee representation worked the only option was to form a self-help organization to finally start fighting against the exploitation of female work because. they're not just badly paid them mistreated that pos just suffers from long hours hunched over they pretend dusty and the factories are too cold in winter and too hot in summer they're forced into unpaid overtime and compulsory weekend. catarina is a network member she's also a seamstress an

working conditions or so we think well the reality is very different for textile workers in north macedoniathey're under immense pressure to churn out garments as quickly as possible and often at the expense of their own health and safety and fact when calculated with living costs wages there are lower than in south east asia where christina paver used to be a cog in europe's fast fashion machine now she's become a voice for change. america dunker was once the hearts of yugoslavia's textile industry. the factory belong to its 9000 employees its director and little more than the other workers it had its own day care centers and workers housing the end of socialism in the early 1990 s. brought the end of the market dunga. the textile industry in steep still employs some $9000.00 workers most of them women hardly any of them earn more than the legal minimum wage in north macedonia $200.00 euros a month lower than in bangladesh in china measured against the cost of living. the minimum for a family of 4 is closer to $750.00 euros a month. christina and paver is fighting for fair pay. she worked

as a young commander during the war of 1812, decatur's swift victory over the hms macedonia reflected his superior leadership and superior awesome seamanship of his crew. decatur, unlike his opponent, was aided by a first lieutenant, or a second in charge, like an executive officer, who idolized him as a captain. during the transatlantic passage, the first lieutenant dutifully roused the crew daily at dawn to perform gunnery exercises to perfection. by the time they encounter the macedonian, the crew operated as a well oiled machine that hand ily demonstrated their ship's spectacular tactics and sour power -- firepower. the united states, one of our first six ships of the navy, disabled her opponent with astonishing speed, landing 70 broadsides compared to macedonian's 30. decatur returned home to rhode island with the first british naval vessel ever captured by the united states, and established his reputation as a skilled tactician and commander at sea. last but not least, in port, decatur was regarded as one of the navy's most dependable and trustworthy officers. in today's parlanc
