In Begrade a Serbian union official decided to speak out his decision to chop off his finger and eat it in protest over wages that have not been paid in years. While speaking about it, Zoran Bulatovic said “it did not show how desperate he and other workers were.”
Going on, Zoran stated “”We, the workers have nothing to eat, we had to seek some sort of alternative food and I gave them an example.” Speaking with Reuters, Zoran stated, “It hurt like hell.”
Bulatovic, a union leader at the Raska Holding textile factory in Novi Pazar in southwest Serbia, used a hacksaw to cut off most of his left-hand little finger Friday.
Bulatovic said he decided to act after his deputy, “a single mother of three, was the first to say she would cut off her finger. I could not allow her to do that,” he said.
Other comrades will not back down from their demands but have decided for the time being to not self-mutilate.
