More than 1,000 garment workers from two factories in Kandal province are waiting on a joint committee of Labor Ministry and local officials to decide their fate after going six months without pay.
Dignity Knitter factory and Eco Base factory in Takhmao City, both of which have the same owner, suspended operations in March and promised to compensate employees for their months of back pay, plus half pay in the months following suspension, according to union representatives employed there.
Ministry and union officials said the Labor Ministry had formed a joint committee with provincial authorities last month to sell off sewing machines and other equipment at the factories in order to provide compensation to workers.
