Correa Wins LabourStart "Photo Of The Year" Contest

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Gerardo Correa is the winner of LabourStart’s 2010 Photo of the Year contest. Correa’s submission depicts “farmer workers early in the morning, waiting to start the Pilgrimage for Freedom, around 50 km to walk from Leamington to Windsor in Ontario, to claim for rights, on Thanksgiving 2010.” The third annual contest recognizes the talents of worker-photographers around the world, while encouraging them “to tell the stories of our struggles in photos.” Click here to see Correa’s photo in full size and to view other submissions and winners from previous years.
