A female employee of Best Tan Garment Ltd., has sustained serious injury to the upper breast after her supervisor hit her with a big thread bundle after she made a small mistake on a piece of garment she was sewing, reports Kampuchea Thmey.
Witnesses said that 22 year-old Norb Ny sustained injury to the upper breast when a Chinese supervisor at Best Tan Garment Ltd., threw a big thread bundle at her after she got upset with her for not sewing the garment correctly.
Witnesses said that at 2:15pm on 29th June, a female Chinese supervisor went to Norb Ny's work station and inspected a piece of garment she was working on. When she saw that the garment was not sewn correctly she hurled verbal abuses at Norb Ny, using all the derogatory terms imaginable. The supervisor then walked to an area where big bundles of thread were stored, grabbed one and thrown at Norb Ny, hitting her on the breast. Suddenly, many workers stood up and protested against the treatment of Norb Ny and asked the owner, Mr. David and his wife, Thida, to intervene.
Instead of intervening, David and Thida forced Norb Ny to accept $50-$100 compensation and then sacked her on the spot.
On 6th July, Norb Ny went to see David and Thida again to ask them to find justice for her and to help pay for the treatment of her injury, but David and Thida said they will not pay her a cent. If she is not happy, she can go to complain anywhere she like and they won't care. "You are just a simple worker and want to fight with the factory owners?", they were quoted as telling Norb Ny.

Wow!
These factory owners and supervisor think they can get away with such kind of mistreatment of poor Cambodian workers.
It is about time the workers show them how they should behave if the Cambodian government won't do anything about it.
The Chinese supervisor should be sacked and punished for using violence against workers. The factory owners should be fined and forced to pay compensation to the victim.
shut down that garment factory,
I am chinese-khmer and this salvage act toward my fellow khmer worker boiled my blood!!! The mainland chinese and korean people are not passive people and kind race. We chen-khmer by blood but with pure khmer heart. Where is the labor union rep? Time to push and hit them back. This is our land and these bitches are here to ride on our dirt-cheap labors and yet despise us. Hit them back but harder.
