More than 200 garment workers from Singaporean-owned Bright Sky factory in Phnom Penh’s Por Sen Chey district were locked inside the facility yesterday, after union leaders attempted to mount a protest, saying that workers were anxious their jobs may be at risk as the factory switches from garment to bag manufacturing.

According to Tep Ton, president of the Workers Development Union Federation, workers at the factory were prevented from striking yesterday after the employer locked the doors from 11am to 3pm.

“They are afraid of changing jobs from clothes to bag sewing,” he said. “If someday they don’t sew the bag well, they will face a fall-out from their job.”
