The Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) is greatly concerned by the statement released by the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (“GMAC”)…claiming that the Royal Government of Cambodia appears to be too patient in dealing with unions...CCHR is concerned that such statements calling for zero-tolerance on illegal strikes will only exacerbate problems within the garment sector…CCHR Coordinator of the Business & Human Rights Project, Duch Piseth comments: “…[R]egardless of the legality of a strike it must respect everyone’s right to freedom of expression and association and refrain from using violence against peaceful strikers and protesters.”
