An independent legal analysis of September’s nationwide garment factory strikes released by the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (“CCHR”) today concludes that striking unions mostly complied with the legal requirements. The report affirms the claims of the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia (“GMAC”) that employers as well as employees have rights in relation to strikes. However, ultimately it found that in this strike, many of GMAC’s claims that the strike was illegal have little foundation.
