Angkor beer workers have been handing out flyers calling for a protest of the brand owned by Cambrew Ltd as the beer promoter strike entered its second day. International NGOs are being urged by the Cambodian Food Service Workers’ Federation to support the strikers by lobbying Carlsberg, which owns a 50 percent stake in Cambrew Ltd to bring about a fair settlement. The Federation has said that the brewery is breaking the law and exploiting the women by refusing to pay the additional $2 per weekend required by the Arbitration Council.
