Cambodia: Unbearable deadlines cause strike; settlement reached after employer made concessions

"You Li employees return to factory floors", 20 July 2018

More than 1,000 You Li International Factory workers...reached an agreement with their employer, brining an end to their week-long strike.

The workers staged a walkout last weekend and began rallying to demand better working conditions and an increase in pay.

They said that an increase of productivity and shorter deadlines demanded by the company made working conditions unbearable.

The company also threatened to sanction workers for failing to meet their monthly targets, while pregnant workers were expected to work the same hours as regular employees.
