Strike takes Pchum Ben break
About 600 Tae Young factory workers are back on the job thanks to a court injunction – and the desire to pocket a little cash in time for Pchum Ben – but the return will only be temporary, workers said yesterday. The decision followed a Kandal Provincial Court injunction ordering them back to the Ang Snuol district factory within 48 hours, but the workers said that after the holiday, they would resume their strike to reinstate 16 workers sacked for allegedly inciting a protest in June. Worker representative Un Bunkea said yesterday that the need for wages before the holiday, coupled with the court injunction and the factory’s announcement that it would fire workers who continued striking, prompted the decision that all but the sacked 16 should temporarily return.
