Man Cuts Off Finger And Eats It To Protest Overdue Wages

Posted by samzenpus on from the was-that-too-much dept.

A Serbian union official, Zoran Bulatovic, cut off his finger and ate it in protest over wages that haven't been fully paid in years. He says he did it to show how desperate some workers have become. "We, the workers have nothing to eat, we had to seek some sort of alternative food and I gave them an example. It hurt like hell," he said. I'd hate to see what Zoran decides to do about workers getting limited bathroom breaks.

      Now he has no middle finger. He has to just throw up his second finger to the outside of his hand..

    Great job, Zoran! Now you're poor, crazy, and you're missing a finger! But at least you got your point across, I'm sure whatever horrible company you work for is really going to miss your finger...
