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.
Workers load trees into insulated bags that are fastened to hips so planting can begin. As the day warms up, water may be used to keep the tree roots cool in the bag. A full pair of baskets may hold about 200 trees.
When a wildfire consumes large swaths of the Colville National Forest as it did in 2015, foresters plant trees to not only give nature a helping hand, but to ensure the forest is resilient, genetically diverse, and meets both commercial and environmental demands.
In May 2019, Forest Service staff oversaw the planting of more than 77,000 trees across 380 acres in about two weeks. Contractors planted ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and western larch in the Stickpin fire scar on Boulder Pass, which burned in 2015. As the 2019 season came to a close, Forest Service staff returned to the planting area to determine how the seedlings fared. This season’s mild summer and above average rain contributed to an excellent survival rate of 94.6 percent.

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.

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.

Poster series imagining a Solidarity City: on.fb.me/12HV9DO
For seven years, you have marched on May Day to celebrate and invigorate migrant justice struggles in Toronto. On International Workers Day, we march to build a Solidarity City. Solidarity City is a unified struggle for: Respect for Indigenous Sovereignty, Status for All, an End to Imperialism and Environmental Destruction, an End to Austerity and Attacks on the Poor and Working class, continued resistance against Patriarchy, Racism, Ableism and Homophobia and Transphobia
Pipelines, tankers, mines, and so-called development projects are being forced onto the lands of Indigenous nations. Harper, like every Prime Minister who came before him, refuses to respect the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples and continues to neglect his treaty obligations, as seen in Omnibus Bill C-45. In the face of this and more, land defenders across Turtle Island continue to resist in powerful and inspiring ways. As we look towards an exciting summer of action and resistance fueled by the Idle No More movement, this May Day let us honor all ongoing decolonization struggles and commit to continuing our support for Indigenous sovereignty.
The past year has seen the implementation of C-31, dubbed the Refugee Exclusion Act, further criminalizing migrants and expanding the detention and deportation machine. Jason Kenney announced the creation of a designated countries of origin, a racist, two tiered system under which refugees get fewer rights based on their place of birth. This past November, many of us honored our communities and confronted Minister Kenney when he showed up in Toronto. On May 1st, let us take to the streets to build community alliances and resistance once again.
Exploitative temporary worker programs continue to expand and many migrant workers continue to meet deportation, injuries and in some cases death. Workers are being forced to pay thousands of dollars to get jobs in Canada for which entire families go in to debt, yet no provisions exist for status on landing. Since Harper came into power, over 72,000 people have been locked up in immigration detention. In December we rallied in solidarity with security certificate detainees Mohammad Mahjoub, Mohamed Harkat and Mahmoud Jaballah and all those locked up in immigration detention. This May Day let us take to the streets to end detentions and deportations and to call for freedom to move, freedom to stay and freedom to return!
On February 21st, Toronto City Hall reaffirmed its promise to providing services to residents without full immigration status. We will continue to build a Solidarity City where communities work together to ensure justice and dignity for all residents. The history of Access Without Fear in Toronto is a long one and on May Day let us march to celebrate our victories and commit to continued struggle.
In the face of austerity, climate destruction, colonial and capitalist wars and interventions here and across the world that push people out of their homes, let us fight for status for all. Status for All is the struggle for self-determination, just livelihood, housing, food, education, healthcare, childcare, shelter, justice and dignity for all people, with or without immigration status.

It's a rare sight. Nowadays, Malaysia's construction work force consists mostly of foreigners. Malaysia government will be bringing in another 40,000 (legally) more foreigners on top of the 3.1 mil (legal and illegal) who are already residing in Malaysia. They were sitting under the shelter because it was raining.

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.

Altra cosa che colpisce in Giappone sono i COSTANTI lavori edili.
Dovunque (anche nel bel mezzo del centro) ci sono cantieri (che pero` a differenza di Roma e Milano ed in generale in Italia) non bloccano la vita normale dei cittadini.
Addirittura chi mette su il cantiere e` costretto a misurare i DB (decibel) del runore prodotto per assicurarsi che non provochi disturbo (ho anche visto cantieri con display collegati a misuratori in tempo reale per dimostrare il reale impatto acustico !
Nel passato, in Giappone c`era tradizione che chi metteva su un cantiere andasse a visitare tutti i vicini con dei regali per scusarsi in anticipo del disturbo arrecato...
Inoltre sicuramente si resta collpiti dal numero degli addetti: in tutti i cantieri, per quanto piccoli siano, c`e` sempre almeno un paio di persone che stanno li` a fare nulla, apparentemente, cosi` come il tipico tizio con la paletta in mano che se ne sta tutto il giorno a presidiare l`ingresso del cantiere, senza fare nulla se non quando deve entrare ed uscire qualcosa o qualcuno dal cantiere (cosa rara).
Oppure quello che all`inizio del cantiere per strada, sta li` solo a segnalare che esiste un cantiere (peraltro SUPERVISIBILE, visto che usano una ridondanza assurda di coni, luci, cartelli e sbarre, persino per una buca che non verrebbe neanche segnalata in Italia !
L`impressione e` che vogliano impiegare tante persone !
Pare anche che nei cantieri dei grattacieli, ci sia di mezzo anche la Yakuza... per cui quello sia un modo per impiegare il denaro ufficialmente... ma ovviamente sono solo voci che ho sentito.
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.
