Printing Shops’ Refusal to Print Strike Leaflets Delays Unions [Cambodia]

A coalition of labor unions will…begin distributing leaflets calling on supporters to attend a nationwide strike in March, two days after the planned distribution date due to the fact the majority of printing houses in the city refused to print the flyers. Union representatives said…they had been turned away from a number of printing houses, which they believe were afraid to print material that would be seen by the government as inciting people to break the current ban on public gatherings…The leaflet lists the unions’ seven demands and calls on workers to go on strike…should those demands not be met…The demands include the release of the 21 protesters still imprisoned following labor strikes…a $160 minimum wage for garment workers; the prosecution of state forces who killed five protesting strikers…and an end to the government’s ban on public gatherings, among other things. [refers to TST Printing, T.Y. printing house]
