The idea behind the Miner's Union Hall and a theater was that the family could come to the meetings and catch a show while dad went upstairs.
The Miners Institute Building, also known as the Miners Theater, is a historic building located at 204 W. Main St. in Collinsville, Illinois. The state and local chapters of the United Mine Workers Association commissioned the building, which opened in 1918. The building served as Collinsville's first public theater as well as office space and a meeting hall for union activities. Local community groups also used the building for meeting space, and Collinsville's public library began in the building. Coal mining was Collinsville's first major industry, and it dominated the city's economy in the 1910s; the building is a remnant of the industry's influence over the city.

This was taken at the Alejandro Robaina Tobacco Plantation in Cuba. It's a world famous tobacco plantation which grows tobacco for some of the most famous cigar brands. Including the Vegas Robaina! I've also just spent an amazing 10 days in Cuba and will get to editing and posting new work soon from the trip. Had a great trip and I'm looking forward to posting new work. This was taken in 2011 on my first trip to Cuba.
Well over 500 people gathered in Vero Beach, Florida in deep red Indian River County to speak up on Labor Day. Hundreds of "Workers Over Billionaires" protests were held nationwide on Labor Day 2025, with organizers highlighting extreme wealth inequality and advocating for improved conditions for working-class families. Led by organizations like May Day Strong and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the demonstrations target corporate power and the influence of the ultra-wealthy in politics.
The picture was taken during a Flickr photowalk in Lisbon (blog.flickr.net/en/2019/04/29/flickr-photowalk-in-lisbon-...). It was a really great, inspiring and interesting photowalk through this beautiful city with Flickr's COO Ben MacAskill (www.flickr.com/photos/benmacaskill), local photographers, visitors and participants of the Creative Commons Summit. And for the first time in our holiday week in Lisbon even the sun came out.

Many of these women are wearing the First World War women's 'On War Service' badge made by J R Gaunt and Son, Ltd, London. The badge was introduced in 1916 for women involved in munitions production and was issued after the completion of two months' work. This distinctive triangular brass badge is easy to spot in photographs.
'On War Service' badges were issued by the government and private firms from December 1914 onwards to signify that the wearer was engaged in essential war work.
Perhaps they were receiving medical training the day this photo was taken as a nurse is present and there are patient transport stretchers on the ground.
There also appears to of been a sign posted behind the women the photographer censored out. For wartime security reasons?
Munitions workers played a crucial role in the First World War. They supplied the troops at the front with the armaments and equipment they needed to fight. They also freed up men from the workforce to join the armed forces.
Following a shortage of shells in 1915, the Ministry of Munitions was founded to control Britain's output of war material. It oversaw all aspects of the production and supply of munitions, under the forceful and energetic Minister for Munitions, David Lloyd George.
A number of new initiatives were soon introduced to improve production levels. One of these was an appeal to women to register for war service work. Thousands of women volunteered as a result, and many of these were soon employed in the growing number of munitions factories across the country. By the end of the war, over 700,000 – and possibly up to one million – women had become ‘munitionettes’.
The munitionettes worked long hours in often hazardous conditions.
Good photographic material for historians.
