Another round of talks for the NagaWorld casino labor dispute on Wednesday saw the company and union still stuck in opposing positions.
NagaWorld union leaders said the casino company was reluctant to discuss their demand for reinstatement of around 200 laid-off workers on Monday, as protestors continued to get detained over the weekend.
The final three NagaWorld unionists imprisoned at Phnom Penh’s PJ Prison have been released and returned home Thursday afternoon, according to rights group Licadho.
A local NGO was denied monthly access to jailed NagaWorld union members, a Lor Peang activist was sent to prison this week, and Cambodia reversed its insistence on Myanmar’s attendance at a Asean foreign ministers meeting this month.
The second day of negotiations between NagaWorld union organizers, the management of the Hong Kong-listed company and Phnom Penh city officials ended with no results as workers wrapped up a fifth, foggy day on strike in front of the casino complex.
