Hondurans to receive Christmas bonus prioritize food, health

Description

Tegucigalpa, Dec 9 (EFE).- Christmas bonuses, known in Honduras as the aguinaldo, will be used by many to meet urgent needs derived from the COVID-19 pandemic and tropical storms Iota and Eta, as well as to pay debts accumulated during the health emergency.(Camera: RAMÓN HERNÁNDEZ)SHOT LIST: B-ROLL OF TEGUCIGALPA (HONDURAS) AMID THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. SOUND BITES: GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE INDEPENDENT FEDERATION OF HONDURAN WORKERS JOSÉ LUIS BAQUENADO (IN SPANISH)TRANSLATIONS:There is an obligation. There is a law. The employers will have to see, they will have to make some superhuman effort to be in solidarity with the workers at this time. And we must take into account that it is the one that produces the goods, produces the services, who has the wealth. Wealth that they give in private hands.Today more than ever we expect that conscience of conviction because it is a law and we must comply with the law. I emphasize, they will have to look for alternatives if they are going through an economic crises, talk to the banks so that they can give them loans and things like that.If the worker has enough and has capacity, hopefully workers will be able to. Because workers are over-indebted, suffocated, and in domestic calamity.

Business Insider reports that since last fall, cases of COVID-19 have surged nationwide, particularly following the end of the holiday season. Alabama, Arkansas, Maryland, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia were hit hardest. Record hospitalizations were also seen this week in Arizona, California, Delaware, and Maine. The US Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization for two COVID-19 vaccines at the end of 2020. However, a slow rollout means it will be many months before all who want a vaccination are immunized.
