Global beer giant attacking Cambodian workers

Last year, a number of beer promotion workers, all women, were dismissed by Cambrew for fighting changes to their employment contract that would have worsened their working conditions. The Cambodian Food and Service Workers Federation (CFSWF) has been supporting these workers in their fight against Cambrew. In retaliation the company is suing the CFSWF for damages for their involvement in a strike at a company warehouse. In addition, reports have come out that the company offered money to selected workers in an attempt to undermine workers’ solidarity and break the union.
