Uring Manggagawa – Concerned Artists of the Philippines [Lyric Video]

For many of us, Labor Day means vacation. We should not take this for granted. Concerned Artists of the Philippines pays tribute to the labor movement to which we owe vacations, leaves, humane working hours and conditions, and many other workers’ rights that we now perceive as standard. None of these came easy; all were hard-won through the continuous struggle of militant workers throughout history. As industries and working arrangements evolve, so does exploitation. New generations of workers across all nations are called upon to continue battling oppression old and new. There are many more victories we have yet to achieve.
