A resolution honoring the Thai-American garment workers who opened the country's eyes to sweatshop conditions in the United States and, against all odds, expanded rights for immigrant workers and survivors of human trafficking while holding corporations responsible for the conditions in which their clothes are made.

This resolution (SRES 346) commemorates Thai-American garment workers freed from a 1995 El Monte, California, sweatshop where they were trafficked and held against their will. It recognizes their landmark lawsuit - the first federal case against garment companies - which exposed exploitative conditions, spurred anti-sweatshop movements, and led to policy changes like S visas (later evolving into T/U visas for trafficking survivors). The resolution honors their courage and legacy, noting their induction into the U.S. Department of Labor’s Hall of Honor and their role in advancing workers' rights and corporate accountability. It does not create new laws but formally acknowledges their historical impact on labor policy and human trafficking protections.
