News about workers in Cambodia usually relates to the garment industry because it employs hundreds of thousands of people at low to extremely low wages. Another major and expanding industry is the tourism sector. Workers employed in hospitality are often young women, and face the issues of low wages, insecure work and sexual harassment. The most recent flare up has been the dismissal of 11 union members by a subsidiary of the global beer giant Carlsberg. There is an international solidarity campaign calling for the reinstatement of these workers.
