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.

Artistic licence or were construction workers really that glamorous?
73 Jalan Magazine (Magazine Road), 10300 George Town, Pulau Pinang.
Hui Aun Association, or Hui Aun Kong Hooi, is a Hokkien district association founded in 1914. It is located along Magazine Road, across from 1st Avenue Mall. Most of its members are from the working class, including trishaw peddlers, mechanics and construction workers. Women construction workers also joined this association. From this bottom rung of society, a few of its members had risen to become some of the richest and most influential people in Penang. Among them was the late Tan Sri Loh Boon Siew.
The Hui Aun Association is housed in an Art Deco style building from 1938. To celebrate its heritage, the Hui Aun Association recently had its side walls painted with the Woman Construction Workers Mural.

Four Peasant-workers working in a constructing field. They were building a concrete bridge. A truck entered into the field, and the headlight casted on the workers, making them observable from the dark ground. (Peasant-workers are a very special and Chinese-characteristic social stratum, and of course, they are the nethermost social stratum)

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.
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.
