Union boss accused of strike incitement

The president of the Cambodian Alliance of
Trade Unions has been summonsed to Kandal Provincial Court to answer
incitement and defamation allegations levied against her by the owner of
the strike-plagued Tai Yang Enterprise factories.
The court complaint comes ahead
of major negotiations today in the seemingly irresolvable dispute
between thousands of workers at the Tai Yang factories, which supply
Levis and Gap, and factory officials.
“KiKi Wang, the company
director-general, filed a complaint against the president of the
Cambodian Alliance of Trade Unions, who led the workers to hold the
illegal strike that caused the factory to lose more than US$10,000 per day,”
Tai Yang Enterprise administrative manager Ou Meng Hour said yesterday.
Hour said his company had never
had problems, but Yang Sophorn, president of CATU, incited the
workers to illegally strike for the past 14 days, causing a massive
profit loss.
