The number of people standing up for union efforts to organize unrepresented workers is amazing. People need good paying jobs where they have representation and onsite safety procedures to ensure that they make it home to their families each night.
Thousands of community organizations filled the streets of downtown Los Angeles, marking May Day.
Millions are expected to join the nationwide mobilization launched by a combination of central trade #unions and an united front of #farmers called the #SamyuktaKisanMorcha.
India’s major farmers and workers unions are coming together to launch a nationwide mobilization on Tuesday, November 26, to demand the government address the distress faced by the majority of the country’s population of farmers and workers.
A call for nationwide #protests was given by the united farmers front, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) and a joint platform of the Central Trade Unions earlier this month. Left-affiliated farmer’s organizations All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), All India Agricultural Workers Union (ALAWU), and Center for Indian Trade Unions (CITU), one of India’s largest trade union federations, are part of the call to mobilize.

“The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin. June 30, 1917.
The symbol of the clinched fist has been a symbol of #solidarity as early as 1917. “The Hand That Will Rule the World” by Ralph Chaplin is an illustration referring to the #IWW (Industrial Workers of The World). Industrial unionism began when skilled workers were displaced by modern machinery and the #monopolization of industries. It was a union that believed industries should be controlled by the workers, benefiting the many instead of enriching the few, and create better working conditions.
In this image, the workers are uniting their arms and creating one giant fist, which represents solidarity and #unity, while holding tools, representing manual labor, while factories in the backdrop symbolize the machinery displacing the workers.
