This situation is serious to the workers who live in extreme poverty with not any rights. These workers need some recognition about their work and their wages. In the same time producers and consumers are the victims of supermarkets.

The second document is a press release from UEDS dated May 15, 2010 at 8:45, and it's for citizens and MUIS (Union of companies and businesses of the south islands).

It's an "answer" to the previous press release. The UEDS regretted the past problems during the strike organized by the MUIS, because that does penalize consumers and employees.

In addition, because of the situation of the previous strikes, they are anxious of violence and possible slippages in this actual strike like overflows from June 2009.

The claims of MUIS are clear and heard but we are in a time of crisis and UEDS can't make decisions.

Indeed, the market gardeners are not the only in difficult situation. It mentions that the repercussions of the economic crisis touch all categories of the population like super market. For UEDS, supermarket suffer against the increased operating costs, the high social taxes

and stranger competition.

It calls on the union to return to the calm in order to resume discussions in order to find an agreement.

In conclusion, these articles oppose two opposing views of two different parties, with people who defending their interests: the poor and rich people.
