I`m assuming the workers stayed in this area next to the stables. The house is situated within the Jardines de Alfabia (Gardens of Alfabia) near Bunyola. The gardens are worth a look & can be found on the right hand side just before the Soller Tunnel. This was the former residence of the Governor of Mallorca...20/04/15
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.

Construction workers are tough! Without the benefit of a crane, every piece of scaffolding, as well as that yellow water jug, had to be hoisted up hand over hand, bucket brigade style.
Sex workers are taking part in the International Women’s Strike (IWS), with women in over 40 countries participating. Read the A declaration from English Collective of Prostitutes and Empower Foundation, endorsed by the Global Network of Sex Work Projects (NSWP.ORG) issued which puts forth some of the reasons why sex workers are striking:
“On March 8, in the spirit of solidarity as part of the International Women’s Strike, sex workers will strike against poverty, criminalization and stigma, whether by refusing to go to work, charging double rates or by any other action possible.”
The Women’s March on Washington is calling for a ‘Day without A Woman’ on March 8 too, International Women’s Day. The contingent is part of the IWS march in Oakland.

We walked through a construction worker strike while we were there. They were protesting unsafe working conditions. Apparently, the strike lasted one day.
Aix-en-Provence, France. Workers were protesting the government's disregard of victims of asbestos-related illness. One person joked darkly that we should take photos now because many of the protestors won't be alive in a year.
In 1957 R. Dakin & Co. were importing toy trains from Japan when they discovered something strange...Instead of packing the fragile trains with newspaper or straw, the Japanese workers had handcrafted whimsical little animals from scraps of velveteen and used them as padding. Needless-to-say, Dakin knew a good thing when they saw it, and began producing these little cuties en mass.

These workers from Bangladesh were about to return home because the company they worked for went bankrupt. Many of them still owe thousands of dollars to the agents who brought them to Singapore.
" You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towardsthe infinite.
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison ?
Always you have been told that work is a curse and labour a misfortune.
But I say to you that when you work you fulfil a part of earth's furthst dream, assigned to you when that dream was born,
And in keeping yourself with labour you are in truth loving life,
And to love life through labour is to be intimate with life's inmost secret. "
From : The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
