geovalin Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Three workers from a Kandal factory are alleging they were fired by their employer for forming a local union. The trio were employed at SYSG Garment factory in Kandal’s Ang Snoul district and said they were fired without cause or notice last week. They said this was done because they had formed a factory-level union in March. Hul Sokhim, one of the workers, said their seniors made it clear they were unhappy with the workers’ decision to form the union. She said management was rude to workers and treated them badly. “They used harsh words against us. They did not give us value as workers at the factory,” she said. Prak Tola, one of the three fired workers, said the dismissals were discriminatory and in violation of the law. “They do not want an independent union to help workers who have been oppressed by the company. They choose only those who side with them.” Tola said. A person called Piseth, who was identified by the workers as SYSG’s administrative director, did not want to comment for this story. The three workers have filed a complaint with the Labor Ministry this week alleging they were illegally fired for unionizing and wanted to be reinstated. read more https://vodenglish.news/workers-allegedly-fired-from-kandal-factory-for-forming-union/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
