On 8 October 2020, the Ministry of Labour reportedly sent a letter to Mr. Touch Kosal, the President of the Cambodia Tourism Workers’ Union Federation (CTWUF), alleging that he had violated the Labour Law. According to reports, the letter accused Mr. Touch Kosal of inciting workers from Cintri to go on strike. In the letter, the Ministry alleged that Mr. Touch Kosal led a strike of around 2,000 Cintri workers on 2 October 2020, and ordered that he cease his activities. Mr. Touch Kosal reported that this is the third time this year that he has been warned to cease his efforts to protect labour rights. The previous two warnings were issued by the Siem Reap Provincial Labour Department and the Siem Reap Provincial Court, following his efforts to support the workers from Le Meridien Angkor Hotel, who have been on strike since August.
