PHNOM PENH (Khmer Times) – Draft legislation on trade unions will undermine the hard-won progress of labor unions here as well as violate fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution, labor law and UN conventions, labor leaders said yesterday.

They also expressed alarm that the drafting process was secretive and called on the government to provide them with a copy of the draft, rather than the summary shown in a PowerPoint presentation on July 28.
