Union President suspended at Cambodia's giant Naga World Hotel Casino for defending her members' right to bargain their wages!
The 5-star Naga World Hotel Casino in Phnom Penh has 1,685 rooms and suites - but no room for the right of its thousands of employees to collectively negotiate their wages through collective bargaining - a universally-recognized human right.
For nearly two decades, the Labour Rights Supported Union of Khmer Employees of Naga Hotel (NHW) has struggled for rights and recognition against a hostile management. In May, 2019 the union launched a campaign to bargain wages for the first time and now faces a management backlash. Union president Chhim Sithar, who is also a member of the IUF Asia/Pacific Regional Youth Committee and IUF Women's Committee, was suspended on September 20 for allegedly breaching company rules after she assisted a union member being harassed by security over union materials in her bag.
On October 15-16, mass membership meetings of the union's more than 4,400 members unanimously confirmed their commitment to fighting Sithar's suspension and continuing their struggle for wage bargaining rights.
Send a message to Naga World corporate management demanding the company rescind the union leader's
suspension and bargain wages in good faith with NHW!
