East Asia is one of the industrial hubs of the world with countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China producing and exporting goods all around the world. The working class in these countries numbers in the hundreds of millions.

Due to conflict and wars, workers have not historically had many links between these countries. This is now changing and a recent Labor Notes Conference brought hundreds of these workers and activists together.

APC interviewed an Australian delegate to this conference, Sherry Huang from the Migrant Workers Centre in Melbourne, about her reflections on this conference.
