Two dollar strike to continue
Angkor Beer promoters yesterday rejected an offer from the municipality that would have required them to suspend their strike while officials negotiated a solution for them, telling Phnom Penh’s deputy governor that their protest is legal and that their employer is breaking the law. More than 30 women have been striking for almost two working weeks to pressure the company, Cambrew, to pay them US$2-a-day overtime when they work on Sundays, following a July 7 decision by the Arbitration Council that said Cambrew was legally obligated to do so. Cambrew executive Chou Choung Kim said the company would resolve the dispute today. He said the same thing on Tuesday.
