The leaders of the cooperative are acting in the interest of the SDSM and not the workers.

OBRM-PDUKM contends that LSDM and LSM have experienced a significant erosion of public support. They argue that the recent union protest was driven by political motivations, specifically influenced by party structures rather than genuine concerns of the workers. The organization believes that the leaders of LSM are prioritizing the interests of LSDM over those of their employees, leading to a consistent decline in member confidence.

Specifically, OBRM-PDUKM highlights the actions of LSM leaders as evidence of this misalignment. They assert that instead of representing the interests of the workers, the protest was orchestrated by LSDM local branch leaders who were prominently present, wearing party apparel. This suggests a deliberate manipulation of the situation.

“The LSM protest was led by LSDM local branch leaders, who were in the front lines with party apparel,” stated Brane Petrushevski, representing OBRM-PDUKM. Furthermore, the organization points to logistical failures as further proof of the protest’s ineffectiveness. They cite the empty buses organized by individuals affiliated with LSDM, which traveled to Skopje, as evidence that the LSM action lacked genuine support from the workers.

This underscores the perception that the entire event was politically motivated and not representative of the concerns of the workers.
