Svay Rieng Garment Factory Suspends 2,000 Workers

More than 2,000 garment workers have been suspended from a factory in Svay Rieng province for two months, with the company saying it cut employees because the factory had received no orders from buyers amid the Covid-19 economic downturn.

Pum Sokunthy, deputy president of the local chapter of the Collective Union of Movement of Workers, said You Li International (Cambodia) Garment in Bavet City suspended the workers from May 1 to June 30.

Sokunthy told VOD on Wednesday that the workers were told by factory representatives that they would receive $70 per month in line with a government directive, with $30 provided by the factory owner.
