    Garment strike mostly lawful; employers’ reaction not proportional, report finds

    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.

  • Legal Analysis: September Garment Sector Strikes

    Legal Analysis: September Garment Sector Strikes

    The CCHR is a non-political, independent, non-governmental organization that works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights throughout Cambodia. The CCHR’s vision is of a non-violent Kingdom of Cambodia in which people enjoy their fundamental rights, are treated equally, are empowered to participate in democracy and share the benefits of Cambodia’s development. The CCHR desires rule of law rather than impunity; strong institutions rather than strong men; and a pluralistic society in which variety is harnessed and celebrated rather than ignored or punished. The CCHR’s logo shows a white bird flying out of a circle of blue sky – this symbolizes Cambodia’s claim for freedom. To realize its vision, the CCHR works to promote and protect democracy and respect for human rights – primarily civil and political rights – throughout Cambodia.
