Work/Wage Slaves

Workers around the world are under attack. Seen as cogs in the wheels of economic systems that do not care that they are human beings, workers are in danger of losing their jobs to “better deals” someplace else. They are expendable, kept only as long as they produce ever-larger profits for their employers.

These are the people that harvest, process, package, cook and serve our food. Here, too, are those that greet us, watch over us, care for our gardens and living spaces, and do our laundry. There are coal miners, steelworkers, seamstresses, hookers, painters, construction workers and factory workers. These are photos of those most often unappreciated and unseen, people who come from everywhere to work and who work everywhere.
