Workers at two factories held simultaneous demonstrations on 16 March to demand suspension pay and to demand money collected from closed factories in which the owner fled. 400 workers were on strike at the Go International garment factory, located in Kbal Damrey village, Kakab commune, Dangkao district. May Vattana, a representative of the Khmer Youth union, indicated that this factory suspended work for the workers for the past two months, starting on 10 January until 04 March. On the day the workers were supposed to return back to work, the factory owner had decided to suspend their work for another two months, an act which is contrary to the law. At another factory located on Street No. 371, More village, Dangkao commune, Dangkao district (in the past, it used to be located in the Stung Meanchey commne), about 650 workers went on strike since 11 March after they learnt that the Korean factory owner fled Cambodia to return back to his country. Som Aun, president of the Federation of Unions of Cambodia, said in the afternoon of 16 March that, after receiving the news that the factory owner fled Cambodia to return to Korea, and that he could not be reached, Som Aun asked the landlord to put all the equipments on sale to collect salaries for the workers.

Okay, if that what you want, that's what you will get, but I don't know who will have an immediate need for sawing machines, fans, and air conditions.
However, until the buyer come forth to purchase the merchandises, don't call us, let us call you instead, okay?
