Siapakah yang sebenarnya buruh?
Mereka yang turun ke jalan menyuarakan hak-hak buruh,
Atau mereka yang tetap bekerja saat 'hari raya' mereka tiba?

Jika memang itu kamu
Ku ucapkan selamat pada waktu
Karena telah menjebakku
Dalam jaring penuh rindu

Everything that has a beginning also has an end.
We are barely begin;
so what kind of end you want to write?

It's #MayDay everyone... also known As #InternationalWorkersDay and as we edge closer to #Brexit day this has got me thinking about workers rights and how they may fare in the coming #NoJobsBrexit scenario

In particular I'm thinking of women and their rights. Women tend to be the group who suffer most in times of tribulation and #Brexit will be no different.

I'm thinking about the brave women who fought so hard for equal pay and conditions and what they must think of the fact that we are heading towards a situation where these hard won rights will be sacrificed on the altar of trade deals and #Brexit

I've been rereading Oscar Wilde's "The Soul of Modern Man Under Socialism" for #MayDay - a work that looks forward time when workers can be set free from the drudgery of work
"Under socialism what will you do without the motivation of wages?"
For Wilde, the answer to this was quite simple - freed from work man would be able to spend their time on self-cultivation.

In Wilde's writing self-indulgence carries with it a glimpse of a utopia, where all might be so free...
Today is #MayDay and #InternationalWorkersDay and #LabourDay and beyond recognizing the past victories of the labor movement in achieving milestones like the 8-hour day, we really need to talk about the future of the labor movement in a world increasingly automated by machines...
As automation continues, potentially eliminating 1/2 of all existing jobs by 2030, eroding security & buying power through the growth of part-time jobs, low-paid work, temp labor, gig labor and freelancing, unconditional basic income represents the ability to empower ALL workers. 
The ability for everyone to say NO to any & all employers would have an undeniable effect on bargaining power. It'd mean greater profit sharing, higher wages, shorter days/weeks, improved working conditions, more flexibility, etc. UBI can even function as a universal strike fund.

Protesters turn Friday prayer into a major anti-regime rally.
"Our enemy is right here, they always say its America."
This can be a turning point as people can use each Friday to stage anti-government demos.
