The Minister of Culture requires the reformulation of the rules regarding the activity of the artists, regardless of the form of culture they send to the public. Whether it is music, cinema, the emphasis will be put to the result, not during the time worked.
Andras Demeter claims that in the vocational professions, the evaluation of the work should be based on the final product, the creation itself, not on the number of hours worked. The deliverable should be the main unit of measure in the cultural field.
“In the vocational trades the unit of measure should be the deliverable, creation, the restored object, the exhibition, the show, the book, what it is, the film, the production, the interview, its quality. Not the time worked for this interview. Not eight hours a day, forty hours a week (…).
In order to provide culture, no matter what form, the beneficiary must take into account the program of this final beneficiary. If the man is at work until 5:00 pm, from Monday to Friday, then it is clear that you cannot expect to come at 7:00 pm to get to the theater, the exhibition, to the opening, because, especially in the big cities, it is impossible to travel the distance, not to the psychic training and, why not, to a physics or to a medical, or
said Andras Demeter, in an interview with Agerpres.
“We will not remain captive in a system that will lead to blocking!”
Next, the Minister of Culture criticizes the current labor assessment system, being imperative that the work is not quantified in hours, but in results.
“And then, you, if your unit of measure is time, those hours worked on the week, you, in the rest, must benefit, as the ordinary citizen, mandatory for the weekend days or legal holidays in which you have to stay home, then where does the vocational job remain?
So, first and foremost, we have to do, if we want, indeed, to be cultural workers – I do not like the phrase, but it was from the translation of translations’ assimilated including in national law – if we want to be cultural workers, then we should accept that this switch, this transition from a certain system to a much more liberal phenomenon The trades, much closer to the relationship between me, creator, and you, final beneficiary of creation, my work, of the vocation for which I chose to be an actor and not a civil servant, for example, then we will remain captive in a system that will lead to the blocking to which he now led! “, the Minister of Culture also supported.
