A Workers’ Memorial is to be created and located on the west side of the River Ness as an important feature of the River Connections public art project being promoted in Inverness city centre.
The Highland Council’s Inverness City Arts Project is matching the £5,000 being raised by the Inverness and District Trades Union Council for a sculpture to commemorate workers who have died or have been injured in the workplace.
A location and gathering place at the Friar’s Shott, near Wells Street, has been identified for the memorial, which will bear the simple message: Remember the Dead: Fight for the Living, including a Gaelic translation.
Councillor Ken Gowans, Chair of ICarts, Councillor Fraser Parr, representing Inverness and District Trades Union Council and Councillor Richard Laird, Chair of the Council’s Joint Consultation Group (Administration/Manual and Crafts Workers), met on site earlier this week to discuss the project. The partners will be seeking ideas from a number of artists before choosing the design of the sculpture or feature that bears the memorial message.
Councillor Gowans said: “The Friar’s Shott is a key element of River Ness Arts Project and I am delighted to announce this funding and partnership with the Trades Union Council to incorporate the Workers’ Memorial in the scheme. The memorial will become a landmark on the river that will provide a dignified focal point and gathering place that will enable people to pay their respects to the fallen. It is right the River Ness Artworks reflect the feelings of the ordinary folk and I am privileged to be in a position to help by tying it into the other art projects for the river. Credit must go to Councillor Parr for initiating this memorial.”
Councillor Parr said: “The purpose of the memorial is to provide a peaceful space for relatives, friends and colleagues to use, in remembering those whose lives have been tragically lost in the course of their work – whether in emergency, or routine circumstances.
“This would include for example, the oil industry, engineering, construction, agriculture, sawmills, fishing, transport and various emergency services including Fire and Rescue, lifeboat and ambulance crews and the police while answering a call in the line of duty. Our first service was held during the week of the Bangladesh tragedy, with the anniversary of the Piper Alpha just past and the recent helicopter catastrophe south of Shetland.
“Many communities, abroad and throughout the U.K. already support such dedicated workers’ memorials, providing a focus for remembrance on International Workers’ Memorial Day, which is marked on the 28th April and is supported by the U.K. and Scottish Government, local authorities and others worldwide.
“The Council has been very supportive and very generous indeed and we are determined that the end result will be a real credit to the highlands as a whole and a memorial of international significance. It will also be to my knowledge the only one in Gaelic and English.”
Inverness City Arts is making progress with the implementation of the public arts programme, which is associated with the River Ness Flood Alleviation and Streetscape Programme.

You last saw this farm while it was being hand planted:
Lorena P. Salvador is from the Philippines. She first arrived in Qatar in 2001 to work for a Qatari household. She left in 2008 to work in Hong Kong. However, she missed Qatar and returned back after a year. Sometimes on her day off she goes to visit her first employer, who became a friend.
Sai Sai, a migrant worker from Shan State in Myanmar, came to Thailand more than 20 years ago. He first worked on an orange farm and experienced wage violations and physical abuse. He could not accept this, so he moved to Chiang Mai to work in the construction sector. In Chiang Mai he learned about labour rights from MAP Foundation, which runs a Migrant Worker Resource Center supported by the ILO’s TRIANGLE in ASEAN programme. With MAP support, he was able to organize and advocate for a policy change to permit the employment of migrant workers in skilled construction work.

All worker bees are female the males
(drones) are bigger, they mate with the new queen that is all they are made for.
If the hive becomes short on food the drones are thrown out to die. If they return one of the workers stings and kills him.
Sorry not very clear.

This is what i drive for a living, making me a key worker during the COVID19 shutdown,
Usually i am on a contract for Bentley Cars, however, during this period i have been moved onto a contact with Nestle delivering anything produced by Nestle to Supermarket RDC.
My hobby is Railways and Photography, however during this period of uncertainty, i will only be getting a photo if it is on my way to or from work without having to deviate, or if i can do it by going out on my bike once a day as i am a keen cyclist.
Remember to Social Distance and most of all Stay Safe.If we all stick to the guidelines then the sooner we as a nation can beat this and return to the daily activities we all enjoy.
I didn't get a perspective shit, they were about 9 floors up, working by that short, fragile looking rail.
