Union makes poisoning claim
More than 70 employees continued to protest in front of a luxury resort in Siem Reap town yesterday, demanding that 18 workers be reinstated after they were allegedly dismissed for attempting to unionise. Chhey Phi, head of the Angkor Village Resort Workers Union, claimed yesterday that the owners of the Angkor Village Hotel and Resort had accused some employees of poisoning fellow staff members’ food as an excuse for firing them. Provincial labour officials said yesterday that the hotel owners informed them during a meeting on Wednesday that they would reinstate those who had been fired, but that employees who arrived at the hotel yesterday were denied permission to work.
