The President of the Free Trade Union of Workers in the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC) said that he will give time for Hun Sen until Friday to answer about the recent request made by his trade union to the factory owners to raise the monthly salary of garment workers by $5, otherwise, a major strike will take place and it will affect several hundreds factories. Chea Mony, FTUWKC President, told The Cambodia Daily on Tuesday, that if there will be no reply back, garment workers from 140 factories will start their strike, and he stressed that this is not a joke. On 14 March 2008, Chea Mony sent a letter to Prime minister Hun Sen asking him to increase the salary of garment workers. He explained that the salary raise is needed because of the increase in price of goods, the increase of gasoline price, the increase of rent and price of medicines. All these price increases affect the livelihood of the workers all over the country.

You better not lose any Khmer's job motherfucker (Chea Mony). This is no joke.
We're proud of you, Chea Mony. You & your brother are the Hero of Khmer workers.
Easy for you to say when you don't have to live and beg on the street all day and all night to survive.
We don't give a damn about the stupid $5 right now if our job is at risk. We don't want to take any chance, you got that?
I am behind you Mony. You have done a great job for the people you represent. Hun Sen should learn from you.
gov't please help support cambodian people rights to wage increase as things are getting more and more expensive nowaday. thank you for caring and looking out for your people.
We do support wage increase but only in a step by step systematic manner: 1) we create job. 2) we ensure that we have enough job. 3) then we propose wave increase.
Thus, because there aren't enough jobs to go around, it would be suicidal to force the business sector to do anything and make thing worse for everyone else.
Cambodia is not a developed country and you can't act like it is. Get it?

several hundreds factories Vs 140 factories.
Believed you lived and educated in USA but your way of translating is contrary and way beyond right.
No surprise, Mee Jkout (Socheata) just loves to inflate thing, if you know what I mean, 6:16.
