Some Labour Day Successes!

Labour Day is around the corner, so it's a good time to reflect on the things workers have gained in their fight.  Yet, there is still much more to do in the workplace.

It could be that some of us have taken it for granted that employers were the ones who freely offered these things to workers, but this was not and is usually not the case.

On the other hand, though, employers needed to agree to these "fought for terms," and thankfully, they have agreed to them.

Some of the things fought for are Pension, Overtime, Benefits Coverage and Vacation Pay.

Enjoy Labour Day, everyone!

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
