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.

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

Regine went to Manila for the first time to work as a kasambahay when she was 17 years old. She left her family in Samar so that she could help with the family expenses. Her mother is asthmatic. Working in Manila will go a long way to aid medical expenses. Her main task at her employer’s home was to do general housework. She worked with another kasambahay and friend who came with her from Samar. Although Regine’s main task was housework, she helped her friend at times when it came to taking care of the kids. After a year of service as kasambahay, she went back to Samar to continue her high school education. © ILO/J. Aliling 2015

Workers gather outside the Celanese textile plant near Cumberland, Maryland August 7, 1939 during a second plant-wide strike by nearly 10,000 workers.
Since gaining recognition after a strike in 1936, workers engaged in a series of skirmishes with management who at times refused and at other times delayed engaging in contractually required negotiations over working conditions in each department.
This resulted in a series of departmental sit-down strikes at the plant from 1936-39.
The 1939 strike cemented the union’s position, gaining better wages and working conditions and resulting in the election of communist activist George A. Meyers to the president of Textile Workers of America Local 1874 at the plant.
Meyers would go on to become president of the local union and, in 1941, president of the Maryland and District of Columbia Industrial Union Council of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).
Meyers joined the Communist Party during the fight to organize the union at Celanese and as president of the MD-DC CIO, led the fight to integrate basic industry—overseeing the successful efforts to integrate the Celanese and Kelly-Springfield plants in Cumberland, Glen L. Martin aircraft factory in Middle River and the Bethlehem-Fairfield shipyard in Baltimore.
Efforts throughout World War II by the CIO to desegregate jobs within the Bureau of Engraving in federal government and the Capital Transit Company in Washington, D.C. were waged in earnest but were ultimately less successful. The CIO also played a key role in the fight against police brutality in the District of Columbia in 1941.
After World War II, the onset of the cold war led to the expulsion of Communist Party members from most unions, including the Textile Workers.
Meyers went to jail for 3 ½ years for his membership in the Communist Party in the 1950s but went on to head the Party’s labor activities until his death in 1999.
The Celanese plant at its peak employed 13,000 workers producing materials made from synthetic fiber and closed in 1983.

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.
