Employe(u)rs

Par le terme ’employeurs’, je désigne toute personne physique ou morale qui m’a employé avec un salaire (plutôt qu’aux honoraires), dans ce qu’on appelle juridiquement, et de façon plutôt pittoresque, la relation — à sens unique — ‘de maître à serviteur’. Puisque de telles conceptions primitives par rapport à ce qui constitue le but d’un travail sont tellement aux antipodes de ma nature profonde — mon éducation en est la source — je n’ai jamais laissé perdurer de tels ‘contrats’. (Comme Le Monde Diplomatique vient de rappeler à ses lecteurs “c’est le respect du contrat, et non sa rupture” (Marx) qui induit l’oppression.)

By the term ’employers’, I designate those individuals or firms which have employed me (rather than out-sourced me) on a salaried basis, in that legally-defined one-way relationship, somewhat picturesquely referred to as that ‘of master to servant’. Since such primitive conceptions of what is the purpose of work are so alien to my nature — my education is largely to blame for that — I have never allowed such ‘contracts’ to endure. (As Le Monde Diplomatique recently reminded its readership : “it is the respect of the contract, not its breach” (Marx) which implement oppression.)

Nell’uso del termine ‘datori di lavoro’, intendo ogni persona fisica o ente morale che abbia preteso impiegarmi (piuttosto che retrocedermi del lavoro) con stipendio, in quella relazione — a senso unico — che si definisce giuridicamente, e in modo piuttosto pittoresco, ‘da maestro a servitore’. Visto che tali concezioni primitive riguarda lo scopo di un lavoro sono talmente agli antipodi della mia natura profonda — la mia educazione ne porta una certa responsabilità — non ho mai lasciato perdurare tali ‘contratti’. (Recentemente Le Monde Diplomatique ha ricordato ai suoi lettori che “è il rispetto del contratto, non la sua rottura” che opera l’oppressione.)
