The government has agreed to delay the passage of a controversial law governing the trade union sector, announcing it would set up a national workshop to work out the legislation’s thornier clauses on December 15.

The decision comes after repeated protestations from a coalition of 23 union groups that gathered in front of the National Assembly again yesterday demanding changes to the law and a meeting on Monday with assembly President Heng Samrin.

Assembly spokesman Leng Benglong said the request would be sent to Samrin, and that two of the assembly’s commissions would meet today to discuss the law. “The sixth commission [on law and justice] and the eighth commission [on labour] have checked and discussed this draft law and will meet with the Ministry of Labour [on Friday] for further discussions.”
