Two food delivery riders resting and charging their phones at Camera del non lavoro, ”Chamber of non labor,” a trade union dedicated to temporary workers in Milan, Italy. The young men, modern-day low-wage workers, sit in front of a painting by the artist Chiara Loca, depicting historical low-wage workers, the mondine—seasonal rice-paddy laborers who were common in Italy until the first half of 20th century, especially in the Po River area in the north. The mondine’s job was to remove all the weeds among the rice plants, work that is done by herbicides today. The two groups share low pay as well as poor working conditions, few protections, and contracts that are far from ideal.
