In a statement, the federation said Cambrew and Carlsberg had been breaking the law and exploiting the women who promote their brands for 14 years: for as long as the country’s labour laws have required overtime pay. Cambrew had ignored a July 7 Arbitration Council ruling that said it was obligated to pay its beer promoters double time on Sundays, the federation said.
Thousands of flyers calling for a boycott of Angkor beer were handed out to passers-by yesterday in front of the head office of the company that owns the brand, Cambrew Ltd, as a strike by women who promote the beer in restaurants and nightspots entered its second day.
More than 30 women who handed out flyers to occupants of passing vehicles in the capital’s Norodom Boulevard warned that they would start protesting at beer gardens tomorrow if the company did not double the rate of pay they receive for working on Sundays from US$2 to $4.
The Cambodian Food Service Workers’ Federation also began urging national and international NGOs to support the strikers by lobbying Carlsberg, which owns 50 percent of Cambrew, to ensure a fair settlement to the dispute.

Cambrew had ignored a July 7 Arbitration Council ruling that said it was obligated to pay its beer promoters double time on Sundays, the federation said.
Orn Norn, an official with the Arbitration Council, said that the council could do no more.
“If one side does not agree with the order, the other side has a right to protest,” he said.
Khiev Savuth, deputy director of Labour Ministry’s Department of Dispute Resolution said the case was not his responsibility. Sarin Denora, a lawyer for Cambrew, continued to decline to comment.
Chorn Sokha, a programme officer at the Community Legal Education Centre, said most beer sellers were too afraid of losing their jobs to strike.
“No one at the company bothers to listen to them and they are not used to speaking up,” she said.

Khmericans = Shit the scum of American society, They can't even help Khmer Nation where they were born and how can they help American society! What’s a shameful on khmericans.
Khmericans is the most shameful community in America -> reason why they are just an opportunities people who are not afraid in sell out their Khmer Nation as well as Cambodia and How can American will put trust in these Khmericans in defence democracy and America.
Very shameful Khmericans! over 225 000 but only 100 Khmericans were turn up for Cambodia and Cambodian people justice.
The scum and the most shit cheap community in America is Khmerican. Why? Because over 225 000 Khmericans but only 100 Khmericans were turn up for protest against injustice in Cambodia. 100 Khmericans = less than 0.045% of total Khmericans population in the USA.
If these people who called themself Khmericans can't even stand to protest the injustice in their motherland called Cambodia. How can American people trust these Khmericans in protect America Nation. What’s a joke!
Shame on Khmericans! American people won't trust Khmericans in saying Khmericans will defend America because Khmericans can't even stand to fight the injustice issues in Cambodia. Khmericans in fact are opportunities and selfish community in America. Khmericans are so cheap as they demonstrate last protest 100 Khmericans were turn up out of over 225 000 total Khmericans. Khmericans are scum living beneath AMERICA SOCIETY.
Khmericans have no honour in say they will defence America because Khmericans can't even defend their previous country.
Shame! Shame! On Khmericans, over 225 000. You know you are nothing but scum in American Society.
