Employees of trash collection firm Cintri agreed to return to work across Phnom Penh on the evening of October 14 after the company said it would meet their demands when their contracts end on January 31 next year, according to union representatives.
Kao Sovath, president of Cintri’s chapter of the Cambodia Tourism Workers Union Federation (CTWUF), said all employees had agreed to end their 12-day strike after Cintri said it would fulfil their benefits.
“The company agreed to pay us all benefits in the second week of February of next year,” Sovath said. “Night shift workers will go out to collect garbage around 4pm or 5pm [October 14] and workers in day shift will go to collect garbage in the morning tomorrow.”
He noted that Cintri had agreed to cover five benefits, including seniority indemnity pay, compensation pay, final salary, remaining annual leave pay, and notice pay, when the company’s contract is terminated after City Hall selects three new companies to carry out trash collection duties on October 16.
However, Sovath said that workers’ pay would be cut for the seven days of strike action from October 8 to 14 because they had not returned to work when Phnom Penh Governor Khuong Sreng had asked them to do so.
