He gets 12 for one door?
:22:11
Twelve divided by two is six,
:22:13
and six zlotys is a day's pay for me.
:22:15
So in fact you work eight hours
:22:19
for the price of one.
:22:24
Right?
:22:25
Let's go on.
:22:27
Supposing you spend all your time
fitting doors.

:22:31
You do four a day.
:22:35
Berg gets 48 zlotys for them
:22:39
and pays you six.
:22:42
So he's making 42 zlotys off you,
day in and day out.

:22:48
Off you, off me, off all of us.
:22:53
Day in and day out.

There once was
a wise bearded man...

:23:09
by the name of Karl Marx.
:23:13
He once wrote
:23:15
that workers
were paid just barely enough

:23:18
to renew their strength.
:23:23
These days we don't even get that.
:23:27
We have to scrounge to survive.
:23:31
Can't we workers do anything?
:23:34
If you only knew, my friend,
:23:37
how much blood has been spilled
:23:39
over this simple arithmetic -
among other things.

:23:42
Workers fight for their rights.
:23:45
They always have.
:23:47
What about now?
:23:49
Even now.
:23:51
Mr. Sekula,
:23:53
you say the workers are fighting.
:23:58
What about you?
