The Cambodian government sends military police to attack a demonstration of garment workers on strike for a higher minimum wage. The police opened fire with AK-47 rifles, killing five workers and injuring dozens more. Following the attack, the government banned all demonstrations and used military force to clear the streets. At least 39 workers were detained and held in unknown locations.

About Today In Labor History

The NHLN has joined with multiple other websites to help highlight some of the struggles that workers have faced throughout our history. We want everyone to know what the workers of the past had to endure for the rights we take for granted now. If you do not learn from the past, you are doomed to repeat it.

1. Some days I think it's coming around again to the US. TPTB want the peasants to know their place,

like what happened to OWS IMO. I think a lot of Americans forget or don't even know what occurred to give them what labor rights they still have left today, that it was not all because of a benevolent government.
