Another round of negotiations between NagaCorp and its casino union in Phnom Penh came and went Friday with no progress,
The trio of fired workers were employed at SYSG Garment factory in Ang Snoul district and said they were terminated without cause or notice last week.
Friday marked the sixth negotiation meeting since the Phnom Penh casino workers’ union began to strike and demonstrate in December.
Another round of talks for the NagaWorld casino labor dispute on Wednesday saw the company and union still stuck in opposing positions.
NagaWorld union members did not attempt to resume their strike on Friday, though most of the detained strikers were released.
Security authorities continued detaining NagaWorld strikers today as they attempted to return, with officials again citing Covid-19 measures.
Though quarantine NagaWorld union workers say PCR test results trickled in this week, one told VOD he had received conflicting information about his infection status.
NagaWorld workers and union leaders who have refused to accept termination are planning rallies and urging a strike next month, vowing to continue until the casino company’s management addresses their current and unsolved grievances.
Afraid of getting locked down inside a bicycle factory, an estimated 2,000 workers fled out of rear entrances, overwhelmed a deputy governor asking them to stay, carried their motorbikes through a pond, and scattered.
Factory workers in Phnom Penh’s Pur Senchey district gathered outside their village chiefs’ homes on Friday, petitioning to receive the documentation needed for a Covid-19 vaccine so they can be allowed back to work.
