One Angkor beer promoter was hospitalised yesterday after reportedly being struck by a company minivan and another three feinted from smoke inhalation when police attempted to extinguish flames from tyres they had set alight on the eighth day of their strike.
Yoeun Sreymon, 29, was taken to Bayon Hospital after being knocked down by a red Angkor minivan, fellow strikers said. They said she was pregnant and that she was unconscious when they took her to the private hospital for undisclosed injuries.
Phnom Penh Police commissioner Touch Naroth said last night he had told his officers to show restraint, but also to prevent the women from burning tyres. “I assure you that my officers did not cause any injuries,” he said.
The women have been protesting outside the head office of their employer, Cambrew, for eight days in a dispute over unpaid overtime.
Cambrew executives have declined to meet them or comment on the strike.
Carlsberg, which owns half of the company, said last week it was investigating. The strikers said Carlsberg has yet to speak to any of them about the US$2 of overtime the Arbitration Council ruled on July 7 that Cambrew owed them for each Sunday they worked.
More than 30 women were joined yesterday by representatives from another union, the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers’ Democratic Union.
Its president, Ath Thorn, said Cambrew had agreed to a meeting at 2:30pm and then cancelled. Ath Thorn described this as another example of the company’s unwillingness to settle the dispute.
If the company did not settle the dispute, his union would take action, Ath Thorn said.
Chou Choung Kim, a spokesman for Cambrew, said its lawyer would reach a settlement with the strikers today.
Police chief Touch Naroth said: “The police cannot solve this dispute. It’s up to the Arbitration Council and the company. I don’t know why it has not been solved.”
He said the municipality would intervene tomorrow. Deputy governor Pa Socheatvong would meet with the strikers and try to find a solution, he said.

These employer don't have any sense of appreciation for their employees.
Hun Sen must love these beer promoters, otherwise he would send security forces after them.
What's the difference between the current incident and land incident?
Hun Sen is up to something.
ពលរដ្ធខ្មែរត្រូវតែប្រុងប្រយ័ត្ននឹងអាបក្សសមរង្សីវិញទើបវាប្រសើរពីព្រោះអាបក្សនេះវាតែងតែរអើងជាតិ
សាស្ត្របើពួកវាចូលស្រុកមិនខុសនឹងអាពតនោះទេ។
វានឹងសម្លាប់ប្រជាជនខ្មែរម្តងទៀតហើយ។
រាស្ត្រខ្មែរអស់ជំនឿទៅលើអាហ៊ុន សែនហើយ
កុំប្រូប្រាជ្ញច្រើនពេក។ ចង្កឹះរាស្ត្រច្រើនណាស់
កាច់មិនបាក់ទេ។
អំឡុង ៣២ ឆ្នាំមកហើយ រាស្ត្រស្គាល់ហ៊ុន
សែនច្បាស់ណាស់ កុំមកបោកប្រាស់រាស្ត្រ។
នរណាសម្លាប់ខ្មែរ?
សីហនុបានអោយយួន ចូលមកសម្លាប់ខ្មែរ
ក្នុងឆ្នាំ១៩៧០។
ខ្មែរវៀតមិញ ជា សឹម ហេង សំរិន បាន
សម្លាប់ខ្មែរ។
ឆ្នាំ១៩៧៩ យួនបានចូលមកប្លន់បាញ់ សម្លាប់ម្ដងទៀត។
អ្នកទាំងប៉ុន្មានខាងលើនេះជាជើងដៃរបស់
ហ៊ុន សែន សម្លាប់ខ្មែរ។
នេះជាការពិត មិនមែនជាពាក្យប្រឌិតទេ។
