EVERY BODY IN THIS WORLD WANTS THE SOCIAL SECURITY. THE PRESENT WORLD ISLSEEING THE MAJOR LAPSES IN THE ECONOMY AND MARKET.
This is causing people to left out from the job. This report should not merely handle like simple news but the world over people must think over their own safety and what are the other roads to make the people socially secure.
The present world needs the SOCIAL SYSTEM TO PROVIDE PEOPLE ALL BENEFITS OF SOCIETY. THE DEMOCRACY OF CAPITALIST MAKING THE SOCIAL MONEY GO WASTE THROUGH THE DRAINS OF POLITICAL PARTY SYSTEM THIS IS ALSO MAKING PEOPLE UNEASY IN PRESENT WORLD. THE REPRESENTATIVE RIGHT IF GIVEN TO PEOPLE DIRECTLY THROUGH THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS OF PEOPLE'S COMMISSION THEN I SEE THAT PEOPLE'S LEADERSHIP AND THE SOCIAL SYSTEM CAN FOREVER SOLVE THE INSECURITY AMONG THE WORLD PEOPLE. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT PICTURES.

Thanks! These particular

Thanks! These particular strikes started about 10 days ago. But this isn't the first time they've walked out. They went on strike for 2 weeks at the same refinery back in January.

Interesting photos! How long
