TEACHERS OUT TODAY!
The NUT on the march through central London during their strike last year

HUNDREDS of thousands of teachers are striking against government attacks on their terms and conditions today, with mass marches planned in towns and cities throughout the country.
The London demonstration assembles at 11.30am in Duchess Street, W1 and marches to Downing Street.
Tom Davies, past president Ealing NUT, told News Line: ‘It’s going to be really effective. All I hear from different NUT Secretaries across the London Region is that they will be out solid.
‘The majority of schools in London should be closed or running a skeletal service and nationally I’m sure it will be similar.
‘We have a secretary of state for education who is not only ignorant but arrogant and won’t talk to the trade unions, so strike action is our only alternative.
‘The issues are workload, pay and pensions. Teachers’ conditions have been completely undermined over the past four years and of course we are now faced with performance-related pay, to which we are completely opposed.’
Christine Blower, NUT General Secretary, said: ‘Teachers deeply regret the disruption caused by this strike action to parents and teachers. The Government’s refusal, however, to engage to resolve the dispute means that we have no alternative other than to demonstrate the seriousness of our concerns.
‘Teachers’ levels of workload are intolerable – the Government’s own survey, published last month, shows that primary school teachers work nearly 60 hours a week and secondary school teachers work nearly 56 hours a week. 2 in 5 teachers are leaving the profession in the first 5 years of teaching as are many others. This is bad for children and bad for education.
‘Destroying the national pay framework means that in every school head teachers and governors have to worry about developing a pay system instead of focussing on teaching and learning. The Government’s performance-related pay is unnecessary and will build unfairness and additional bureaucracy. Further, international evidence shows that performance-related pay does not work for schools.
‘Teachers do not believe that they can work to the age of 68 or even later for a full pension – and they don’t believe it is educationally desirable either.’

Workers busy in hanging the tie-dyed fabric to dry on the net of bamboos in the sun after weaving, bleaching and dyeing the finished towel fabric in a factory.
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.

Community health workers (CHWs) with the Tingathe program prepare to ride their bicycles to patients’ homes in central Malawi. Since 2008, Tingathe CHWs have brought critical services for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV into the community, where they perform door-to-door HIV testing and counseling and support linkage to care for individuals with a new HIV diagnosis. Newly identified HIV-positive breastfeeding and pregnant women are supported by Tingathe CHWs at their homes and health facilities throughout pregnancy, breastfeeding, infant HIV testing, and successful initiation of antiretroviral therapy amongst HIV-positive infants. Tingathe—“we can” in the local Chichewa language—has provided care to over 17,000 HIV-positive patients in the last year and demonstrated a transmission rate as low as 4.1% is possible in a routine programmatic setting. By implementing a robust community-based approach to minimize vertical transmission of HIV—a route of infection still responsible for over 300,000 new infections every year—Tingathe mitigates the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic that has disproportionately affected impoverished communities globally.

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.
there seems to always be construction happening here in hong kong no matter where you go! i noticed that it is not rare for the workers to be female. This surprises me since most construction workers in america are male.
