Factory shuts down abruptly, fires 3,000

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.

Factory shuts down abruptly, fires 3,000

Post by phuketrichard »

as this goes on, how many others will follow suit an how many others will be out of work?
Propitious (Cambodia) Garment Ltd, the largest factory in Takhmao town in Kandal province, announced an abrupt closure on Tuesday but did not inform its 3,000 workers in advance.

The company said the closure was announced because there were no orders.

Workers are now concerned about their livelihoods.

Sa Mady, one of the fired workers, told The Post on Wednesday that the factory management told workers about the closure while they were working. They were only told that no buyers had placed orders for garments and the factory was not able to suspend them from work.

add in the tens of thousands of returning migrant workers with Zero income, Cambodia might not have many infected with the virus but the economic fall out will kill the country.
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST
