More than 700 workers from three factories owned by a Chinese businessman in Phnom Penh’s Por Senchey district — Yu Fa Garment Industry, Yu Da Garment Industry and S.R.E Garment Company — recently received part of their pending wages after the owner absconded early this month. Factory assets were sold off to pay 65 per cent of each worker’s January wage.
But the workers did not get any severance pay or benefits because the machines sold off could not cover the costs, a report in Cambodian daily Khmer Times quoted Son Prak, deputy chief of the Worker Union Federation, as saying.More than 700 workers from three factories owned by a Chinese businessman in Phnom Penh's Por Senchey district — Yu Fa Garment Industry, Yu Da Garment Industry and S.R.E Garment Company — recently received part of their pending wages after the owner absconded early this month.

Although most workers did not like the deal, they had to accept the partial pay because the owner disappeared, he said. (DS)
