PHNOM PENH, June 24 |
(Reuters) - More than 400 Cambodian
croupiers, drivers, cleaners and other workers have been sacked
or suspended by the Hong Kong-listed owner of their casino after
going on strike for higher pay and better working conditions,
they said on Monday.
Strikes over pay and working conditions are on the rise in Cambodia, particularly in the garment sector, where low-cost labour has attracted many Western brands in recent years.
Strikes over pay and working conditions are on the rise in Cambodia, particularly in the garment sector, where low-cost labour has attracted many Western brands in recent years.
Hundreds of strikers demonstrated on Monday outside the
NagaWorld hotel and casino complex, owned by Nagacorp Ltd
.
One of them, Seng Lay Heng, 22, read out a text message she
had received from management saying: "Your contract with
NagaWorld is terminated with immediate effect."
"This is illegal. The company can't just fire us without a
reason," she said, adding the workers had gone on strike
legally.
The company did not respond to requests for comment in
either Cambodia or Hong Kong.
Last week, riot police and security guards broke up a
peaceful protest, mostly by women, and briefly detained 19
NagaWorld workers and union representatives, according to the
Cambodian Tourism and Service Workers Federation.
About 1,000 workers have been on strike since June 13,
demanding that Nagaworld increase their pay to up to $150 from
$80 a month, or by 20 percent for those already earning more
than $150.
According to a memo emailed to senior staff, 413 workers had
had their contracts "terminated/suspended". It was not clear
what was meant by "suspended".
The strikers "have been identified to have been involved in
the illegal strike against the company", management said in the
email seen by Reuters.
