Cambodia, a Paradise for NGOs and Trade Unions
AKP Phnom Penh, March 05, 2014 –
Cambodia’s Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen said here yesterday at the 17th Government-Private Sector Forum (G-PSF) at the Peace Palace that Cambodia is a paradise for NGOs and trade unions.
This comment came forward after Mr. Van Sou Ieng, Co-Chair of the Working Group on Export Processing and Trade Facilitation and also Chairman of the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia (GMAC) complained that Cambodia has too many unethical union and union multiplicity.
“Industrial harmony has been damaged by unethical union and union multiplicity,” he underlined at the 17th G-PSF.
“There are 2,891 trade unions in just about 600 enterprises. It is like each family having 1 husband but 4 wives,” he added.
In response to this concern, Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen said this is a voice from the employers’ side, therefore we have to listen to all sides before taking any action.
