Garment Workers Go on Hunger Strike
About 90 garment workers began a hunger strike yesterday in front of the shuttered Kingsland Garment Cambodia, Co. Ltd. factory in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district, following weeks of protests demanding unpaid wages and severance pay. … “We want the owners of Walmart and H&M to know that we don’t have money, and we are hungry” said Ms. Visal, 25, one of the workers.
