Unionists support striking workers [Cambodia]

Union leaders yesterday lent their support to employees of local construction firm KC Gecin Enterprises (Cambodia), who extended their strike outside the company’s office in Meanchey district into a fourth day...The workers went on strike Monday after the firm allegedly dismissed 60 employees last week for attempting to form a trade union...Ath Thon, president of the Cambodian Labour Confederation, who joined the protest yesterday, encouraged the workers to maintain their strike until they had a satisfactory solution from the management. Other union bodies, including the Cambodia Labour Committee and Independent Democracy of Informal Economy Association (IDEA)…arrived to show their support for the workers. Representatives of KC Gecin declined to comment.
