Beer girls brew Angkor strike
60 some Angkor beer promoters are going to hold a strike outside of the company’s Phnom Penh offices in order to draw attention to the labor violations and discrimination they’ve suffered. The strike is planned to be loud and colorful according to Cham Rong, the women’s representative. An Arbitration Council has reached a decision awarding the women double the amount of wages they receive on Sunday, raising the amount to $4, but the brewery has refused, and has threatened the women if they join a union according to Cham Rong.
