Cambodia: Garment workers of Walmart supplier Canteran Apparel petition prime minister to address factory closure & unpaid compensation

"Workers’ Protest Camp Mobilizes as Dispute Resolution Stalls", 21 June 2022

About 100 former workers of the Canteran Apparel factory in Phnom Penh have resorted to petitioning the prime minister himself to sort out their grievances, claiming the manager of their site left without warning and shut down the business without paying any compensation.

The laid-off garment makers...brought a petition to the office of the cabinet of Prime Minister Hun Sen pleading for the help of the country’s top leader.

Instead, the ministry proposed the workers approve the sale of the remaining equipment from the Canteran factory and take whatever proceeds they could get from that.

The workers said that wasn’t acceptable, as the remaining equipment was old and would not fetch a price that would cover what they’re owed, which they estimated to be roughly $800,000.

Workers say the factory director left without notice, announcing the end of his time at Canteran with a note posted to staff on May 3...
