Trade unions in Cambodia are threatening a nationwide strike if the government fails to meet their demands for higher wages and a shorter working week.
The strike threat was made in a joint letter to Prime Minister Hun Sen by the leaders of the Free Trade Union movement and the country's Independent Teacher Association.
The unions are also calling for a cut in the petrol price, which is at a current record high of one US dollar a litre.
There has been no immediate response to the strike call by government officials.
