A Shia employee, who said he was adismissed from his job for participating in pro-democracy protests, holds a banner during a demonstration celebrating Labour Day in the village of Muqsha'a, West of the capital Manama.  Many Shia employees were either dismissed or indefinitely suspended from their jobs in the wake of a brutal crackdown on protests.
