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.
