As we celebrate Labor Day, a holiday rooted in the struggles and triumphs of workers' rights movements, it’s crucial to reflect on how the concept of labor has transformed in our rapidly changing world. The rise of automation, the gig economy, remote work, and shifting cultural values have reshaped not only how we work but also how we perceive the value of labor. This discussion invites participants to explore the evolving relationship between work, identity, and societal progress.

To guide the conversation, consider the following questions:

Historical Perspective: How did the original purpose of Labor Day—honoring workers' rights and fair conditions—align with the realities of the Industrial Revolution, and how does it contrast with today’s workforce challenges?

Cultural Shifts: In an era of "quiet quitting" and digital nomadism, do modern workers still view labor as a source of dignity and community, or has it become merely transactional?

Technological Disruption: Can automation and AI coexist with meaningful employment, or do they threaten to widen inequalities in the labor market?

Globalization’s Impact: How do labor rights and celebrations differ across countries, and what can we learn from international approaches to workers’ welfare?

Join us to debate whether Labor Day should adapt to reflect contemporary work dynamics—or remain a steadfast reminder of past victories. Share your stories, critiques, and visions for a fairer future of work!

How did the original purpose of Labor Day—honoring workers' rights and fair conditions—align with the realities of the Industrial Revolution, and how does it contrast with today’s workforce challenges?

At the end of the 19th century the workers had to work for a long time every day. So workers organized many strikes to fight for their rights and fairs. The strikes were suppressed. But at the end the american government made compromises

How the experiences can be used in today's workforce challenges: Perhaps as labourers we should fight for our rights bravely? Although I know strikes have high risks

啊啊是谁都对：Maybe bravery and organization. But the latter is strictly controlled and severely striken.

In an era of "quiet quitting" and digital nomadism, do modern workers still view labor as a source of dignity and community, or has it become merely transactional?

I think perhaps most of labourers only think working is a pure transaction: They give the capitalists time and gain the salary. They don't think workers are a group of people that should be honored

“labor day”、“labor day”，was created to memorise the fighting humans, so was supposed to be translated into "劳工节”，not“劳动节”.The little trick in translation really made me depressed and angry, I never thought trick could even be used in such a thing. We were educated to be proud of dedicating ourselves to doing more work since childhood, other than focus on our rights.I hope its Chinese name was changed one day, it must be a very good sign which brings hope and dawn.

啊啊是谁都对：In fact, the word "labor" also has the meaning of "workers". But “labor” is usually related to abstract concepts or collective workers (also "organised labors" means "the union of workers")

啊啊是谁都对：And of course, there is a need to discuss if the present Chinese name of Labor Day is correct.

啊啊是谁都对：回复 @啊啊是谁都对：By the way, "labor" in "Labor Law" is also this → abstract concepts or collective workers

liga：回复 @啊啊是谁都对：Yeah，I 've specially searched the meaning of “labor” before commented. Considered Labor Day's origin, it's reasonable to treat this "Labor" as "劳工", not so called "劳动".

As for AI's influence to workers, share a video about this, I cant tell whether it's right or not, but at least it make sense.【AI时代人类就业四大幻觉-哔哩哔哩】 https://b23.tv/Nv7Vomq

啊啊是谁都对：Welp, I think computer science and coding will be complusory courses since elementary school in the future.

liga：回复 @啊啊是谁都对：There is a old saying "摸着石头过河”, it‘s widely used to guide the developments of various domain in China. If the Europe or America don't put this into practice first, I don't think there will be somebody has both the power and motivation to do such a thing. It seems there is a long way to go.

啊啊是谁都对：回复 @liga：Yeah. China is not probable to do such experiments.

By the way, in the next time, at least put an English version of a Chinese saying. (If not know the English expression of that, just ask AI and it will answer you.)

The correct format is [There is a old saying "xxxx(摸着石头过河)”] → In fact, Chinese is just a note for an English, lest others misunderstand things.

liga：回复 @啊啊是谁都对：Okay, it make sense.
