City Hall bans June Textile rally
The president of the Cambodian Confederation of Unions said yesterday that he would defy a municipal order banning employees from June Textile Factory from marching to Prime Minister Hun Sen’s house to seek resolution in a labour dispute. According to a report from a City Hall meeting yesterday, CCU and 350 workers from the factory in Sen Sok district, which burned down in March, were only permitted to gather at Freedom Park. Violence broke out when police blocked a march of June Textile workers around the capital in May, who had gathered to demand higher compensation than was offered by the company.
