On the 16th of December 2015, five union leaders of the 2,500 strong workforce at the Cambo Kotop Company were sacked by the company. Campo Kotop routinely films workers during rest breaks in an attempt to intimidate them and stop organising efforts. Following this, hundreds of workers then went on a two week strike. The company retaliated by terminating a further 50 workers in early July. Cambodian garment workers have been very active over the last year in demanding better conditions and wages. The Collective Union of Movement of Workers (CUMW) is still fighting for these workers. For solidarity statements and more information, contact union president Pav Sina at cumw.cambo@gmail.com.
