Cintri strike ends, workers’ contracts to be terminated
Mom Kunthear | Publication date 14 October 2020 | 22:19 ICT

CINTRI (Cambodia) Ltd rubbish collectors who have been on strike for the past 13 days agreed to return to work starting Wednesday evening after the company agreed to terminate their contracts at the end of January next year and provide seniority payments and other benefits to them in mid-February next year.

After a meeting attended by Phnom Penh municipal deputy governor Keut Che, Cintri representatives and union representatives on Wednesday, Cintri agreed to terminate the employment contracts of all workers on January 31 and provide payments and other benefits as per labour law.

This was announced by Cintri employees’ union president Kao Sovat, who relayed the news to workers waiting outside Cintri, where the meeting was held.

“[Seniority] and other benefits resulting from employment contract termination will be paid to workers no later than the second week of February 2021 and they will be guaranteed by the Phnom Penh Municipal Hall,” Sovat said.

He said workers who went on strike from October 2 to 7 will be paid for that period. However, those who did so from October 8 to 14 will not be paid for that time.

“From today onwards, workers on strike will not be paid wages, in accordance with the labour law, and all workers must return to work as usual from today [Wednesday] in their groups and shifts,” he said.

People around Phsar Chas were told yesterday (via truck loudspeaker announcements and flyers) not to put rubbish out on the street any more. Not sure for how long though.

Fukkem! You should be directing your anger at Cintri. The company was going to cancel all thier contacts and not pay the workers thier entitlements good on them for taking a stand

Were they so kind as to also tell them WHERE they should put their rubbish then?

I told them there's a few cans of beer next to my garbage every time it's collected.

My garbage gets taken first, usually.
