Back in 2004, we had our old, reverting-to-gravel driveway replaced. These guys did an OK job and were OK with me taking pictures. I came across these in my archive diving.

I've recently become an administrator for the 6 Million People group.
www.flickr.com/groups/6millionpeople/
I've got about 320 pictures posted there now, but I have started going back through my archives and pulling some pictures that, frankly, didn't make the first cut, but that I saved for some reason. They meet the criteria for the group, so I've posted them to put them into 6 Million People.
I'd encourage all of you to join the group and post pictures as well. Please note the rules though: one person in the picture and that person posted to the pool only once. In other words, you can only post one picture of Joe. People in the background may be OK, but they really have to be separated from the one person who is the subject. There are a couple of other exceptions as well.
That's one of the reasons I became an administrator: to help "clean up" the pool so that only pictures meeting the criteria are included. The other reason is that I believe in the mission of the group and would like to see it succeed.

I met him on the streets of Darjeeling, India. He was engaged in repairing a street along with his teammates. I find his face having interesting character & took this portrait.
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.
The brick making place is called BHATTA -a place where the families do perform work against the quite low paid salaries. This is another form of profession where the women of rural areas can be seen performing work with their male counterparts.
I'd say this is one of the most boring jobs here, but actually: Every postal job is boring. Fortunately, they rotate people in shifts, so people generally only do things like this for 30 minutes at a time.
Of course, 6 people do it at once, and are graphed in realtime for supervisors to watch.
Keying in ZIP codes for small parcels -- while having your speed monitored in realtime with an on-screen graph comparing you to the other 5 people doing the same thing. Fortunately most people here only do this in 30-minute shifts.
Also, you can wear portable music players. That's pretty cool.
BACKSTORY: We got to go on a 'field trip' at work, driving back from L'Enfant Plaza, Washington D.C. (where I worked) to Merrifield,VA (very close to where I live). I got to take pictures. I don't think that we really used them that much, except as a secondary reference for mail sorting machine control panels and such.

Here in the US, this is the Labor Day weekend, a holiday created in recognition of the organized labor movement.
"Whatever their faults, unions have been the only powerful and effective voice working people have ever had in the history of this country."
—Bruce Springsteen
"Although it is true that only about 20 percent of American workers are in unions, that 20 percent sets the standards across the board in salaries, benefits and working conditions. If you are making a decent salary in a non-union company, you owe that to the unions. One thing that corporations do not do is give out money out of the goodness of their hearts."
—Molly Ivins
"If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves."
—Lane Kirkland
"Every advance in this half-century—Social Security, civil rights, Medicare, aid to education, one after another—came with the support and leadership of American Labor."
—Jimmy Carter
"The labor movement is the last noble protest of the American people against the power of incorporated wealth."
—Wendell Phillips
(Pictured above: A 1937 issue of Westinghouse Magazine that I found at my mom's house this summer. The cover illustration reminds me of WPA-era murals.)
I did my first drawing of roadworkers in August 1963 and I'm sure that most of those men in their cloth caps are now past and gone. Forty-six years later and I'm still fascinated by them.
This morning, the road's been re-gravelled further up from the house here in Brittany, and although from the window I can't see to draw the workmen , they kindly left me this tipper-truck across the street!
Die gesamte Serie erzählt eine Geschichte der physischen und psychischen Last der Arbeit, von der Balance zwischen individueller Identität und kollektivem Handeln. Sie lädt den Betrachter ein, über die unsichtbaren Verbindungen nachzudenken, die in einer Welt voller sichtbarer Strukturen verborgen bleiben.

Farm workers face safety, health, and environmental risks. Agriculture is among the most hazardous sectors for workers of all ages, due to the nature of work and frequent lack of job training for the high number of low-skilled, seasonal and migrant workers.

In the Hyderabad city market I just walked through looking for people to photograph. I even tried different types of portraits. This is one of them. I kept the man in front in clear focus and because of the shallow depth of field the man in the background was a bit blurred. I felt that it gave the image a bit of depth.
