Striking NagaWorld casino workers are “welcome” to return to their jobs without repercussions until Wednesday — after which they will be terminated for serious misconduct, NagaCorp said in a letter to protesters.
NagaWorld strikers said two more workers with Covid-19 recovered on Monday, leaving nine in treatment as protesters temporarily put their street rallies on hold.
Sixteen NagaWorld strikers reached the front step of the casino complex — the closest they got to the company’s buildings in weeks — and held banners there Wednesday evening before being shoved into a city bus by police and carted away.
Security authorities continued detaining NagaWorld strikers today as they attempted to return, with officials again citing Covid-19 measures.
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.
