Migrant workers travel from the southern U.S. to the northern states like Michigan, following the wave of ripening crops and the progressive warming of the growing season. This group has brought their own homes on wheels....much better than some of the shabby housing that the farmers sometimes provided in the past.

Here are some very old pictures. They are from 2006 in Berlin while showing the cooperative work of misterzumbi and derjoe at TSL (Tausend Steine Land). Most of these pictures are previously unreleased. The scene we had built shows the Empire State Building in New York around the 1930 years.
Expecting and nursing mothers require social protection but workers in the informal economy are often not covered. Maternity protection has been a primary concern of the ILO since its creation in 1919. Workplace support for mothers who are breastfeeding has been a basic provision of maternity protection. The Philippines expanded maternity leave benefits in 2019 to align with international labour standards. The ILO also promoted exclusive breastfeeding in the workplace to advance women’s rights to maternity protection and to improve nutrition security for Filipino children.

80 Years Ago - Communists and the Daily Worker back D-Day - the Executive Committee of the Communist Party issued a statement calling on every member to give everything in their power to ensure the speediest success of the invasion - BUT even so the Daily Worker is the only national newspaper banned from embarking a journo with the troops.
The map on the Daily Worker's front page appears to show airborne landings which include the Channel Islands, although I'm not aware of any such landings on the islands on 6 June 1944, but if anyone knows of any such landings please comment below.
To anyone wanting to read a newspaper that's truly and consistently on the side of fighting fascism, like the Daily Worker throughout the 1930s and 1940s, I would highly recommend the Morning Star -

Singaslaves :
From 248 000 in the early 90's to more than 750 000 nowadays, the foreign low-skilled (and very low-paid) workers are now a a vital element of the booming singaporean economy and a huge component of the population (18% of the 4.6 millions people living there) - although a lot of Singaporeans pretending not to be racist tend to say that the real singaporean population is 3.7 million (as if the foreign workers were not part of the population)...
Not so fun to be a foreign worker in the construction sites.
Of course, if you come from Sri Lanka, India or Bangladesh (or Myanmar, or Indonesia, etc), the pitiful 600 singapore dollars ( around 310 US dollars or 290 euros) salary you earn for the work is far more than the average wages you could earn in your native countries. Of course, you can buy a nice handphone or mp3, and maybe send a bit for the relatives you've left. So i guess i can understand when some of them i've talked to told me they were quite happy here.
But... They work like dogs, they are carried in lorries like cattle.
They are lonely. They are too poor to rent flats and in the miserable dormitories where they live, there is usually no comfort and very strict rules : no gathering, no drinking, no smoking, no guests, no talks after 10pm...
So some of them gather in the evening around HDB (public housing residences) void decks and eat, drink and talk, as they used to do in India or in their native countries. Of course, there are sometimes loud noises and other little troubles for the neighborhood, and i guess sometimes worse things.
Some residents seem to be very bothered by that - obviously more than when it's a rowdy ah bengs gang (local chinese singaporean bad boys) gathering or noisy mahjong players. In the newspapers, some residents say they created "vigilant groups" so as to catch foreign workers urinating or drinking around the HDBs. Some "not racist" madams say they are too afraid to go out when there are foreign workers around their residences because their smell is unbearable (!) an they feel "mentally violated" (!) by these poor guys. Some threw bags full of urine at foreign workers gathered under their windows... Classy.
The Prime Minister himself had to remind that foreign workers are human too and they are a necessary part of the economy, hence they deserve more tolerance and respect from the singaporean citizens - who by the way are very often descendents from migrant workers...
