The Meaning of Strong Labor, Stopping Drug Trafficking
Last Monday, the United States observed “Labor Day” to recognize the contributions of the American worker to the strength and prosperity of the U.S. economy. One question that I would like to answer is, “What significance does Labor Day pose to the American people?” Americans celebrate Labor Day as a reminder of the vital role the labor movement has made, and will continue to make, in the continuity of the nation’s economic prosperity, high standard of living, and growth potential for future generations. The United States first celebrated Labor Day in 1894, a year marked by general strikes and deep social and economic instability. In an attempt to bring recognition to the social and economic contribution of the American laborer, the U.S. federal government created a special day to honor all workers on the first Monday of September. In the late 19th century, American workers faced many challenges similar to those experienced by Cambodian workers today: a rising cost of living, great social and technical change in the work force, and the perception of an elite business class out of touch with the needs of the workers. Today, Cambodia’s labor movement focuses on improving working conditions and increasing compensation.
