Description
Six South Asian lumber mill workers eat lunch in the breakroom of Ladysmith Forest Products. One of them is only barely visible, with everything but his hand obscured by another worker. They sit around a table covered with lunchboxes and thermoses. Behind them, four other workers can be seen at a similar table, turning to better face the camera. There are coats hanging on the wall in the background. From File "Ladysmith Forest Products".
