No matter where the business is run, there will always be endless problems and troubles to be solved. Chinese textile workers come to Southeast Asia to invest.

1. More than 1,000 workers in Cambodia went on strike



From 7 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. on January 15, a shoemaking factory in the Bayu Special Economic Zone, Chaizhen Province, Cambodia, went on strike. About 2180 workers went on strike to protest that factory owners were unable to compensate for half their wages because of the shutdown.



Earlier, more than 1,000 workers went on strike at a factory in Longo District, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, in order to ask for subsidies from their bosses, otherwise they would not go to work resolutely.



Some people say that many of them have worked here for three to five years, some for more than 10 years, but the factory owners have not given them a subsidy, so they collectively carried out a strike protest. At present, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Labor are mediating this matter.



About half a month ago, nearly 2,000 people went on strike at a factory in Mianzhi District, Phnom Penh. It is reported that more than 200 men have been on strike for three consecutive days in order to ask the employer for working-age wages.



Reportedly, many workers were sitting on the roadside, while others were standing outside the factory protesting. According to the pictures of the scene, some people even sat on the floor with the heads of Prime Minister Hun Sen and his wife, the scene was very spectacular. Someone said that if things could not be resolved, they would go to Prime Minister Hun Sen.



According to the workers, the strike was aimed at requiring employers to pay them 5% of their working-age wages for the period 2016-2018 and to maintain their original wage levels and other benefits.



According to the latest Labor Law issued by the government this year, factories must pay workers a certain length of service wage every six months. After many consultations with the factories, the workers have never achieved satisfactory results. & ldquo; We hope that the factories will settle all length of service wages for us.



After the incident, the authorities intervened in the matter and cooperated with both sides to find a solution. After consultation, the factory agreed to pay 5% of the working-age wages to the workers from January 10, 2019. The strike did not end until about 2 p.m.



2. Bangladesh's garment workers have gone on several large-scale strikes



Ten thousand workers are on strike!



Jan. 9, 2019: Bangladesh, the world's second largest garment exporter, again broke out a general strike by industrial workers in search of higher minimum wages. According to police and trade unions, one worker died in the protest and dozens of others, including the police, were injured.



In September last year, Bangladesh said it would raise the minimum monthly wage of garment workers to 8,000 Taka, or about $95, in 2019, but the move dissatisfied the industry, which wanted to raise the minimum monthly wage to 16.If the strike cannot be solved for a long time, most of the serious violations of labor law occur. At this time, it is advisable to contact the Chinese merchants'factories, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce affiliated to it and the Chinese units stationed abroad for joint assistance in order to seek common solutions to relevant problems through experience and relations.



Finally exclamation: it's not easy to run a factory, and it's even harder to run a factory abroad! Bosses should continue to refuel in the new year.
