Ynoub 2012












  • subcontracting workers from a telehone company
  • at first they are demanding better working conditions, salaries, etc, but then they seem to have a foundational moment where they become workers of a certain trade, not just subcontractors. They form their own union, join social movements, etc, but include milestones of institutionalizaiton in their self-histry
  • this seems to suggest that workers can construct a profession in their own right
  • earlier images of this group didn't show workers as protagonists, just "protests", later we see workers show themselves as protagonists
  • workers begin to show pride in their work, and themselves as workers, not just antagonists who need the help of other social movements
  • befor eth eimages seemed to reinforce their place in inequality, later the images deamnded more respect, soaw themselves as repectable people and resisting the power
