City Hall Calls On Angkor Beer Promoters to Protest Peacefully
Phnom Penh City Hall yesterday warned Angkor Beer promoters to protest peacefully until a resolution could be reached on their pay claims, a union representative said. Protests held by the Angkor Beer promoters turned violent on Tuesday evening, with one promoter hospitalized after protestors clashed with police and company representatives, according to one the promoters present at the protest. Beer promoters have been frustrated with their employer Cambrew Ltd’s failure to honor a July decision by the Labor Ministry’s Arbitration Council requiring Cambrew to pay overtime in arrears for every weekend day they worked between November 2007 and December 2010.
