24 More Faint at Dangkao District Garment Factory
Continuing the spate of mass fainting at Phnom Penh garment factories, 24 workers fainted at the Heart Enterprise factory on Friday, prompting the factory to shut down for the second time in a week, officials said. The Dangkao district garment factory had reopened on Friday following its closure on Thursday in the aftermath of the collapse of 20 women on Tuesday and 30 on Wednesday. Ath Thon, president of the Cambodian Labor Confederation, said the mass fainting seen in the past few months were due to chemical odors as well as malnutrition among workers.
