This #MayDay, a reminder that maintaining employment is a common condition of parole release, meaning that mass incarceration has created a class of people who are pressured to say yes to jobs with bad wages, benefits & protections. /1
Formerly incarcerated people earn $.84 for every $1 the average worker earns, or ~$29k/yr. /2

On this Labour Day, it's important to recognize the struggles that workers in Kenya face. Despite the challenges, workers continue to demand better working conditions and treatment. Here are some of the general demands that workers in Kenya are making:
1. Fair wages: Many workers in Kenya face poor wages that do not reflect the cost of living. This leaves them struggling to make ends meet despite working long hours. It's important to demand fair wages that provide for basic needs. #LabourDay
2. Safe working conditions: Workers in Kenya often face unsafe working conditions that put their health and lives at risk. This includes lack of access to protective gear, inadequate training, and lack of regular safety inspections.

#MayDay di Indonesia di tahun ini terbilang penuh nestapa dan berkalang tanah bagi Kaum Buruh. #MeiLawanOligarki
Betapa tidak, konflik agraria di Indonesia semakin meningkat dengan konsekuensi keterlemparan Kaum Tani (khususnya petani kecil, petani gurem dan buruh tani, dan para petani perempuan di segala lini di pedesaan). #MeiLawanOligarki
Kaum Tani yang terlempar ini menjadi calon tenaga-tenaga kerja yang entah kapan nasibnya berpihak (baca: dipekerjakan dengan upah seadanya). #MeiLawanOligarki

Thread: Today/Tomorrow is the Feast of Bealtaine. It is one of the four major Celtic ancient feasts, the others are Samhain, Imbolc & Lughnasadh. It’s also considered the first day of Summer in Gaelic Ireland & Scotland. Let’s examine this 2500y old tradition! #MayDay
The Feast name ‘Bealtaine’ is believed to be etymologically derived from the Irish words for ‘bright fire’. Thus the most significant part of this ceremony were the fires that were lit. It is also known as the Sun Fire Festival (Celtic Idol, Boa Island)
Here’s an overview of my own artwork. It’s inspired by the natural & subconscious worlds & draws on my background in science & study of Early Medieval history:
The #HongKong Gestapo, aka NSL police, forced former pro-democracy labour union HKCTU members Joe Wong and Denny To to call off the planned #LabourDay protest. HKCTU was disbanded last year.
It reminds me of pics taken on May Day 2005. Might never watch these in HK again.

Leading the protest is, of course, the head of the HKCTU Lee Cheuk Yan.
In the heart of Causeway Bay, the protest went along the roads of "usual protest route" of the #HongKong island - From Victoria Park to Gov HQ.
Lee is now behind bars for organising "illegal assembly".

Migrant domestic workers were the long-term supporters of the annual #MayDay protests. From wages to mandatory live-in arrangements, they've been campaigning for policy changes to make the city a friendly workplace for MDWs. At peak, there were ~390K of them serving HK families.

(1/4) #BreakingNews - Talk about arriving in the nick of time! While conducting a training mission at the mouth of the Columbia River, 2 Coast Guard air crews received a #MAYDAY broadcast from the master of the P/C Sandpiper. After notifying watchstanders at Sector Columbia River
(2/4)…who launched motor life boats from STA Cape Disappointment, the air crews arrived on scene to find the vessel floundering in the surf! The surf made rescue by boat dangerous, so the aircrew decided to lower the rescue swimmer and have the owner enter the water for rescue…
(3/4) As he entered the water the vessel capsized but the rescue swimmer was able to safely recover the individual. He was flown back to Coast Guard Base Astoria where EMS was waiting to evaluate and treat the man.

The Palestinian working class can’t be free until Israeli apartheid, occupation, and settler-colonialism end — which can’t happen without resistance of Palestinian workers and international workers in solidarity.

How workers have united in and behind Palestine this past year ⬇️
In May 2021, hundreds of thousands of Palestinian workers — in multiple different industries, and across Gaza, the West Bank, and ’48 — all went on general strike to protest Israel’s ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem, bombing of Gaza, and military and police violence.
Their strike led to hundreds of millions of dollars of losses for the Israeli economy, demonstrating Israel’s dependence on Palestinian labor and the liberatory potential of a unified Palestinian working class.
This week on my podcast, I read my @Medium column, "Revenge Of the Chickenized Reverse Centaurs," proposing a theory of the relationship between algorithms, interoperability and worker power (happy #MayDay!).

#MayDay is International Workers Day in Hawai'i! In honor of May Day we are lifting up our Kanaka labor history as we are largely written out of the Hawai'i labor history literature.
Harry Lehua Kamoku was born in 1905 in Hilo. He was Hawaiian and Chinese and began working on ships and docks as a teen. He was disturbed by the working conditions of dockworkers and got involved in labor organizing.
In 1934, he and other Hawaiians were in San Francisco supporting the famed 1934 dock strike. There he met Harry Bridges who further mentored and supported his organizing work in Hawai'i.
