May
1st 2007: The 121st anniversary of the International Labour
Day, May 1st 2007, is a memorable day for all workers
around the world to commemorate the historical struggle
of the eight hours movement of the US workers. Cambodian
garment workers in factories around Phnom Penh together
with the members of the Women’s Network for Unity
organise a celebration of the International Labour Day
under the theme “Eight Hours Work a Day”.
This gathering is participated by farmers from provinces
and staff from NGOs; together there are about seven hundred
participants. The program will take to the stage the working
conditions in the factory, the wages, working hours, living
conditions and the violence workers encounters. These
conditions are reflected through role-play, songs, Khmer
Ayai.
