Coffee farm workers in Colombia participate in a training on workers rights. We are partnering with local governmental organization SENA (National Learning Service) in Colombia to support independent training on rights and responsibilities. The work with local partners is important since it allows us to take advantage of local knowledge and it helps us to go a longer way with the resources we have to support workers.

A worker inspects the progress of rebar installation at the future Mount Pleasant Station. Crews are preparing to pour the station entrance area?s concrete foundation.
Starting in 1918, long before Modernism or the International Style were thought of, the Crittall Manufacturing Co. constructed a small estate of houses for its workers. They were of concrete block, with flat roofs and exposed lintels. Sand for the concrete was excavated on site. I inspected the interior of one of them. The stairs were of concrete (some, I was informed, are of steel), and so was the floor of the upstairs rooms. Downstairs, on the ceiling, could be traced the impression of the wood grain, bitten into the concrete when it was laid down wet on planks. The rooflines, as built, were raised at the corners and at the centre of each semi-detached pair. All, of course, had Crittall metal-framed windows. Today, not one house has its raised roofline and, except for a couple of listed examples, there is not a Crittall window to be seen.
This is the second time in the last week that I've seen something which reminded me of a piece of public art by Tak Bui (see comment photo) that I photographed almost a month ago.
When an artist's vision resonates over and over it's an indication that their work had meaning and impact.
Caught this guy working on dismantling Jian Min Cun, a slum between the railway and the elevated highway, right off Zhongtan Lu. When the job is done he and his fresh-faced colleagues with their young wives will go back to Anhui.

Artists Clare Herron and Chris Beck created this artwork in partnership with Groundswell Community Mural Project’s TEMA (Teen Empowerment Mural Apprenticeship) and fifteen youth. The mural uses paint, printed parachute cloth, and mosaics to depict the process of pollination and show its significance on a larger scale in a visual narrative 200 feet in length.

Not strictly a Finsec event, but here's a few photos of the Service and Food Workers' Union Nga Ringa Tota rally in Wellington on International Cleaners Day.
The 'Fair Deal for Cleaners' campaign that this rally is part of aims to provide a voice to the low-waged largely immigrant female workforce, in cities across Australia and New Zealand, who are calling on big property owners to support decency in their workplaces.

The title will be much funnier if you know the Parks and Recreation song in which your dream is some kind of wild animal that you need to chase. "It's not enough to simply catch that dream. You gotta grab that dream and catch your dream's dream!"
Anyway, this is preparation for a festival in Bilbao. That same festival caused our travel agent to cancel a hotel in the city centre because it would be "too noisy". The replacement hotel was super close to a bunch of glass recycling bins so it's not like that was a quiet oasis. Oh well. Doesn't matter.
