City bus drivers on strike !!!

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

As I understand it, there is no nationwide minimum wage. The minimum wage is dependent on the type of work you do, with some work having no minimum wage at all.

Kind of stupid... They knew the salary when they started just a few months ago. If they didn't like the pay, why did they apply?

From what they say, there were verbal agreements that their initially low salaries were probationary and there would be increases. Those increases never came.

I'm not sure if this is true or not, but as I understand it, that is their argument.

The easy-to-find replacement has always seem to be the Khmer attitude. Ask most HR they will tell you differently.
