Cambodia News, Sihanoukville: On the morning of November 29, 2020, at Rolok Thom Casino, Group 13, Village 3, Sangkat 4, Sihanoukville, about 100 casino employees went on strike in order to demand that their employers pay their wages.
According to the authorities, the reason for the protest came after the employees heard that the Chinese boss who had shares in the casino had cashed in his shares, and they had not still been paid for the last months.

After this incident, the casino owner came out to negotiate with the staff and promised to pay them according to the casino's schedule (every 30 days) from now on. The staff agreed to the coonditions and returned to normal work in the morning of the same day.

They are desperate, hoping to recover what is due and what will be due in 30 days. It sounds like they will be disappointed on both counts.

Lucky western governments, NGO's and international labour organisations gave Cambodian workers a good grounding in the benefits of well organised unions here, and how to go about it.
The power imbalance is right still out of whack, but if all that good work had not been done the situation would be far far worse.
