The labour ministry is being urged to end its role as mediator and use legal mechanisms through the International Labor Organization convention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cambodia.- After 14 months, the labour dispute between NagaWorld<\/strong> and former employees remains unresolved. Civil society bodies have now called on Cambodia’s Ministry of Labour to end its role as a mediator to allow the use of legal mechanisms under the International Labour Organization (ILO) convention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NagaWorld employees began their strike on December 18 2021 in protest against NagaCorp\u2019s layoffs and pay cuts<\/a> that aimed to improve cost efficiency<\/strong> due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Labour has been mediating negotiations between the parties<\/a> but without success. Workers continue to demand the reinstatement of their positions, demands the company is unwilling to accept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ministry has said that if the dispute cannot be resolved by mediation, the case will be referred to court<\/strong>. However, the delay is affecting the livelihoods of the protesters, many of whom have been forced to accept compensation packages offered by the company to meet living expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the government, as of January 11, 255 of 373 former employees<\/strong> have accepted seniority payments to put an end to their employment contracts. However, 118 employees still refused to accept the payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
