The Angkor Beer Protest. What to do ?

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.

The Angkor Beer Protest. What to do ?

Post by Anchor Moy »

Angkor beer workers in Sihanoukville are protesting again. What to do ? Boycott Angkor in solidarity with the workers, and switch to Anchor or Cambodia, or just stock up in case there is a shortage ? :beer2:
Note: I don't drink Angkor myself (much), but it must be one of Cambodia's most popular brands, so I'm thinking of all you Angkor-drinkers out there and your terrible dilemma. :Search:

Angkor Beer workers want Chinese boss booted

Mon, 22 August 2016
Sen David

Almost 200 factory workers at Cambrew in Sihanoukville will gather to protest the Angkor Beer company today, demanding one manager be fired and a dismissed co-worker rehired.

An Rama, an official at the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers’ Democratic Union, said the warehouse workers’ were continuing after a similar-sized protest on Saturday.

Earlier this year, female beer promoters protested lengthened night-time working hours and claimed they were fired as a result, though Cambrew, half-owned by Danish conglomerate Carlsburg, maintained the 11 staff had quit due to having their work schedules altered.

But the weekend protest seemingly revolved around managerial styles.

Rama said the protesters are demanding Lim Roath, a Cambodian manager at the warehouse, be re-hired after he was dismissed without the company providing a reason.

They also wanted manager Y K Wong, a Chinese-Malaysian national, to be fired, claiming he treated them poorly, in part due to his advance years...

I was about to start a topic on this a few days ago.

Apparently this has already disrupted the Angkor Beer supply chain in Phnom Penh, with several bars going without Angkor on tap for a few days now.

I think Anchor Beer is behind this whole thing in an attempt to push Angkor out while they launch their new bottles. :stir:

God dammit, Rama. First you call us biased and now you're fucking with the country's beer supply.

Next you'll be telling us Trump is a humanitarian.

:wtf:

I involuntarily had some Angkor draft in Phnom Penh last night (because it was the only beer they had on draft) and I've been suffering a suicide inducing headache today as a result.

I always get unbelievably horrible hangovers after drinking Angkor beer. Hope the strike lasts long enough to convince the restaurants/bars I frequent to switch out their Angkor draft for just about anything else..

Angkor draft? You're lucky, as I believe Angkor is in very little supply in the whole country right now, from what I hear.

I don't think I'd agree that "lucky" is the right word.. :bad:

I've been boycotting Angkor as much as possible for a long time, much prefer Anchor and Cambodia over Angkor.
