Strikes at two factories stretch into weekend
More than 600 workers from Kandal province’s Tae Young Co factory yesterday continued to strike, insisting on the return of 16 dismissed workers. Yesterday’s strikes came a day after the Kandal Provincial Court delayed questioning eight of the fired workers over charges that they incited an illegal strike in June. Union member Un Bunkea, one of the sacked workers whom the Ang Snuol district factory is suing for $60,000 in compensation, said yesterday that the eight fired union members appeared at the court on time but were told that their questioning had been suspended. … The workers, who began striking in front of the garment factory on Monday, say that they will continue until the company accepts their demands. …
