Get him to tell you
what happened here.

:32:08
He's one of the pioneers
of this movement.

:32:10
He's complaining a lot about
the attitude of some of the companeros.

:32:14
Here's what bothers me:
:32:17
You break your back, 30 or 40
guys from the very beginning.

:32:21
Then the rest come and say
''okay, l'm part of the cooperative.''

:32:24
''l want a job.''
:32:26
No no no.
:32:27
lf there's not enough work for all,
:32:29
then the first 40 get priority.
:32:32
Who decides that?
:32:34
The assembly, the assembly.
:32:36
lf you can do it,
take a militant attitude,

:32:40
beyond just being a worker.
:32:42
That you are making history.

My name's Freddy Espinosa,
president of Forja San Martin,

:32:54
an auto parts plant.
:32:56
ln the name of Forja, l'm grateful
for all the help you can give.

:33:03
l think we are all in need
in this process.

:33:07
l was quite naive - l kept
giving dates to my family.

:33:13
l told them, ''hold on a month
until December 1 4th.''

:33:17
December 1 4 arrived: nothing.
:33:19
''Hold on until January 1 4th.''
:33:22
January 1 4th arrived: nothing.
:33:24
l have a daughter who is seven
and she asks me every day,

:33:27
''Papa, don't you work?''
:33:31
And l don't know how
to explain it to her.

:33:37
Sometimes it crosses my mind
to just give up everything.

:33:41
Lalo tells me to hang in there,
we're almost there.

:33:46
But it's hard.
:33:52
There were days when
all we had was...

:33:55
eggplant and fried potatoes.
:33:57
l swear, on my children.
