Excellent! Photo reveals great character in the men's faces, nice straight on looks from the two men on the left. I could go either way on color or bw, but this bw rendering is very nice.

Thanks, Christine. I almost left it in colour but thru teachers' banners in the background were bright orange and so colourful that they would have distracted from the foreground imho. Glad you liked. Thanks to everyone else who looked and commented.

Re: PESO - Solidarity, Brother
I haven't heard one union say anything of the sort. Right now they're just trying to avoid losing their hard-fought gains made over the years. In most cases governments aren't actually rolling back wages, they're being sneaky about it: Hiring part time workers (to which the collective agreements don't apply) so they don't have to give benefits or job security. Contracting out services to non-union companies. Laying off union employees then hiring them back as contract workers (again no benefits or job security). More and more government services are being declared essential services thus losing their right to strike. As these attacks against wage earners continue, we hear of CEOs of government corporations making seven-figure salaries. We hear of huge waste and corruption within some departments and government corporations that goes unchecked for years. Yet when it's belt tightening time it's always labour they go after. That, I think, is what these unions are protesting. I'm sure they don't want an increase in government spending any more than anyone else.

RE: PESO - Solidarity, Brother
To me those banners are the weak point of this photo. These guys are obviously labourers (electrical workers IIRC) but the only signs to be seen are for teachers. Looks confusing and somewhat non-sensical. If those placards behind them would have been for one of the labourers' unions the photo would have been much stronger IMHO.
