Kampuchea Strikes Hard, Shoe Factories Rush To Rush Orders

< p > some trade unions and organizations announced that after the new round of strikes in Kampuchea after the new year, most manufacturers were concerned and worried. Many garment factories and shoe factories are stepping up production and production these days. They hope to complete all the orders on the eve of the Cambridge New Year holidays and avoid being affected by the strike of 17 to 22 days in April, which may be up to 6 days.

Wen Shu Yang, chairman of the Kampuchea Garment Manufacturers Association (GMAC), told the newspaper that the strike of the national workers in the end of December last year had a great impact on the investment environment of the garment industry in China and affected the order this year.

< /p >

< p > he said that since the outbreak of the strike, orders for garment industry in the first quarter of this year have decreased by about 5%.

< /p >

< p > he pointed out that due to frequent demonstrations and strikes in Kampuchea, foreign companies were afraid and were afraid to come to invest in our country for the time being.

< /p >

< p > Wen Shu Yang hopes that the government units can effectively solve the strike problem of garment factory, especially to strictly deal with and prevent various illegal strike actions, so as to prevent the strike problem from damaging the investment environment of our garment making industry.

< /p >

< p > he believes that the strike issue will be the biggest potential risk that foreign investors dare not invest in our country.

(P) Wen Shu Yang is worried about several trade union plans calling for strike after the Cambodian new year.

He said that if there were any more violent strikes like last time, workers might smash the factories, and perhaps more companies would decide to withdraw their funds from our country and move to Burma to set up factories.

< p > Mr. Tang, the head of a Chinese garment factory in Kampuchea, Xingda, told Ben that because of knowing that the trade union plans to launch a general strike after the Cambodian new year, its company has been working on production for several days, hoping to complete the old order products on the eve of the new year's long holidays and avoid being affected by the strike.

< /p >

< p > he said that the last time there was a nationwide strike, its company was also seriously affected.

< /p >

< p > strike again, the factory will not pay the salary < /p >.

"P >" Tang pointed out: "the last strike, during the strike, the company paid half of the workers, but if this time a strike, the company decided not to pay the salary."

< /p >

< p > Mr. Tang said that in order to prevent workers from returning to work after the Cambodian New Year's day, the factory will retain the salary of Cambodian New Year's work and will not be paid in advance.

< /p >

< p > "according to the company's routine, the company will pay the wages in March at the beginning of April. It will not give workers the wages in April for Cambodian New Year's day, so that workers will not return to work after returning home."

< /p >

< p > Mr. Tang said that the strike is the biggest headache for the manufacturers. He hoped that the government would enforce the illegal strike action.

< /p >

< p > he said that if there is another serious strike in our country, the company intends to withdraw from Kampuchea.

< /p >

< p > on the other hand, the head of the St. Reese garment factory in Sihanouk Special Economic Zone told the newspaper that the last strike had little effect on its company because of its factory in the West Hong Kong Special Economic Zone.

< /p >

< p > "although we are worried about the workers' strike, the company decided to advance wages to the workers before the new year's Eve, so that they can return home for the new year."
