The recent massive strike in the Cambodian casino industry has finally been settled after days of work disruptions, with thousands of local casino employees having returned to work. The strike actions won pay rises to the protesting workers, as well as the reinstatement of a union leader who was given the sack following a campaign for a better deal.
As a matter of fact, disagreements in the local casino industry have been something very rare to happen since stricter measures on the opposition and the press were unveiled prior to the 2018 elections that brought back Cambodia to a one-party state. Nevertheless, NagaCorp casino workers have participated in the strike action with their insufficient payments and rolled out a gambling industry campaign that was strategically right in their case.
