A couple of thousand people gathered Tuesday afternoon at the Haymarket Riot Memorial Sculpture on Des Plaines Street in Chicago's West Loop to celebrate the traditional workers May Day..
Speeches were given and music was played. The usual festive type of atmosphere seemed to be absent this time. People were angry over the actions of the Trump administration directed towards the working class in general, and immigrants..
Billionaire J. B. Pritzker, candidate for governor of Illinois, put in an appearance, He was supported by local union members carrying signs that read 'We Rise With J.B.'. His presence sparked some vocal opposition from people who felt that 'this is a working class event and a billionaire has no business being part of it'. Some shouting occurred between the two camps, but other than that things remained peaceful.
The march went down Washington Street then shifted over via LaSalle Street to the State of Illinois Thompson Center on Randolph Street where another rally was held.
To me, what symbolized the event and the message being broadcast on the many signs people displayed, was Felipe the Ice Cream Seller. Pushing his cart loaded with tasty frozen treats, he accompanied the marchers from Des Plaines Street all the way to the Thompson Center. It was a warm day with temperatures in the low 80s. It's been a long time since Chicago has had a day that warm. Needless to say Felipe did a lot of business. He works out of the Paleteria 2215 S. Kedzie Avenue in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood. Apparently, a paletero can earn up to $30-$60 a day pushing that cart around. It's a heavy cart too. I had a chance to talk to him a little bit. A very nice man. Just doing his best to earn a living. An excellent example of what the working class is all about.

Heena é unha porteadora, portea escombro. No seu capazo pode cargar ata 20 kilos de escombro; escombro que transporta durante xornadas interminables sobre os músculos extenuados do seu lombo e do seu pescozo. Á noite, cando chega ao seu fogar, logo da maratoniana xornada movendo escombro, séntase agotada uns minutos co seu fillo e con él comparte sorrisos, ollares esperanzadores, agarimos,… logo terá que preparar a cea, fregar,…

WSDOT employees from across the state participated in the ceremony. Far too many of our workers have had close calls, serious injuries and even deaths in our work zones. (It’s hard to find a crew that hasn’t had an injury or numerous close calls).
FARAH, 16 June 2016 - Workers on a construction project in Afghanistan. Many such workers are day labourers who provide their own tools, such as shovels. Any economic slowdown affects the construction industry and particularly temporary workers.

Let’s make 2007 a year for equality
Dear Ann Sherry
Having a happy workforce makes business sense. One way to achieve this is by improving wages. But Westpac pays many of its workers lower wages than workers doing a similar job at other banks.
We urge you in your negotiations with Westpac workers early in 2007 to give them a Christmas present that will last into the future – pay parity with other bank workers.
Together we can make Better Banks in New Zealand that customers, shareholder and workers will all be proud of.
Merry Christmas from: __________________________

At the Phool Mandi shelter, Khushi Ram, a worker for Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan counsels Kulbahadur a former drug addict from Nepal that has been treated for schizophrenia. Delhi, India.
Until a few years ago, urban poverty, whilst being starkly visible to the policy makers in India, received far less attention from the Indian government than rural poverty, both in terms of range of intervention and the scale of financial outlay. Despite evidence of burgeoning urban population, fuelled by distress migration that followed the new economic policies during early Nineties, it remained an area of significant and persistent neglect from public policy.
In March of the year 2000, a group of young people and committed social workers, with support from ActionAid India, came together under the banner of ‘Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan (AAA)’ . The initiative is set to stop exploitation and marginalization of the homeless people in Delhi, with the aim to empower, mobilise and strengthen the capacity of the homeless so that they can assert their rights and live with honour and dignity.
Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan runs 12 regular shelters in buildings provided by the Delhi government. 7 of these shelters are run on ‘pay to use’ basis while 5 are being run without any user fee.
Other work done by AAA during 2010:
A free legal aid mechanism at Delhi Beggars Court was set up to provide legal aid to the inmates arrested under Bombay Prevention of Begging Act.
Education for homeless children:
Twelve homeless children completed their 6 years of formal education from MCD Schools (state supported school). This group of children is based at Fatehpuri shelter where they are supported with 24 hour shelter, food, tuition, counselling and recreation etc. The direct cost of education (e.g text books etc.) was covered by the State but the other expenses of education like school uniforms, clothing, food, and, healthcare etc. are being covered by donors recruited by AAA.
The Health Intervention Group for Homeless (HIGH)
This clinic has been providing health care to the homeless on every Monday and Thursday evening in Jama Masjid area. Through this clinic, more than 3000 homeless patients got free treatment, and 12 severely mentally ill homeless patients were referred to the exclusive Jama Masjijd clinic. Homeless people are also trained as health support workers to provide their services as care workers to patients at various hospitals.
The Chemical Dependents meeting.
This drug users meeting is organised at Urdu Park and Jama Masjid on every Wednesday evening, and at Fountain Chowk shelter on every Friday evening. From these sessions the patients get referred to the Health Intervention Group for Homeless clinic (HIGH). Continued attendance to these meetings is mandatory for those patients referred and treated at the HIGH clinic.

The Ijen volcano complex is a group of stratovolcanoes, in East Java, Indonesia. It is inside a larger caldera Ijen, which is about 20 kilometers wide. The Gunung Merapi stratovolcano is the highest point of that complex. The name of this volcano resembles that of a different volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, also known as Gunung Merapi; there is also a third volcano named Marapi in Sumatra. The name "Merapi" means "fire" in the Indonesian language.
West of Gunung Merapi is the Ijen volcano, which has a one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored acid crater lake. The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation, in which sulfur-laden baskets are carried by hand from the crater floor. The work is low-paid and very onerous. Workers earn around $5.50-$8.30 (Rp 50,000 - Rp 75,000) per day and once out of the crater, still need to carry their loads of sulfur chunks about three kilometers to the nearby Pultuding valley to get paid.
Many other post-caldera cones and craters are located within the caldera or along its rim. The largest concentration of post-caldera cones forms an east/west-trending zone across the southern side of the caldera. The active crater at Kawah Ijen has an equivalent radius of 361 metres (1,184 ft), a surface of 0.41 square kilometres (0.16 sq mi). It is 200 metres (660 ft) deep and has a volume of 36 cubic hectometres (29,000 acre·ft).
In 2008, explorer George Kourounis took a small rubber boat out onto the acid lake to measure its acidity. The pH of the water in the crater was measured to be 0.5 due to sulfuric acid.

Before Rachel West's (USPROStitutes Collective) powerful speech.
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.
Bring Your Red Umbrellas! :-)

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.
