PHNOM PENH, 15 August 2012 (Cambodia Herald) - Cambodia Confederation of Unions
President Rong Chhun (pictured) said Wednesday he appealed to the American owners
of the Gap, Old Navy and Levis clothing brands to put pressure on
Taiwanese-owned Tainan Enterprises (Cambodia) Co Ltd.
Speaking at a news conference, Rong Chhun said he urged the companies to stop buying from any local garment factories that failed to meet the demands of striking workers.
Workers at Tainan and an affiliate have been on strike since June. Among their demands are a $30 housing allowance, a milk allowance for mothers with newborn children, a $15 bonus and three additional days of paid leave.
