He said that once the owners used to make the workers work 18 hours a day and paid low wages. But in the face of intense labor movement, the American ruling class accepted the demands of 8 hours working day raised by the workers. International labor solidarity is an outgrowth of the May Day labor movement. He also said that there are various conspiracies going on to destroy the rich garment sector of Bangladesh.
