The entire work force of the Ta Prohm temple restoration project in Siem Reap – more than 100 people – gathered at the temple yesterday to demand the reinstatement of 30 of their number who were dismissed at the start of the month.
The 145 workers plan to ask the Siem Reap provincial authorities for permission for a formal demonstration if Deyendra Singh Sood, the manager of the project run by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) for Cambodia’s APSARA Authority, did not soon agree to reinstate the workers, said Eung Khoy, vice president of the Angkor Preservation Workers Union–Indian-Cambodian Cooperation Project.
“We won’t work and will just sit and wait for Sood to come see us,” Khoy said, adding that they would not return to work until Sood found a resolution for the workers, all of whom are members of his union.
Workers allege that the 30 who were dismissed were targeted because of their attempts at collective bargaining, but Sood said the workers’ dismissal was a routine budgetary decision made not by him but by the APSARA authority.
ASI could not respond to the workers’ complaints because it only provides expertise for what is, in reality, a project of the Cambodian government, Sood said.
Keeping on more workers at this time would only threaten the quality of work on the temple, he added.
Chan Sokhom Cheta, chief of Siem Reap province’s Labour and Vocational Training Department, said he had told the 30 dismissed workers to file a complaint to his department.
“The other workers who were not dismissed should work as normal and not plan to strike,” he said.
“This is not a good way to solve the problem.”
He said that according to Sood, the restoration project was almost finished, so downsizing was expected.

Your country built by the wealthy Indian Merchants (traders) such as "Kambuja" and all the Hindu Temples were from Indian Civilization.
Khmers are primitive and barbarians, they have no intelligence to do anything besides living as barbaric people.
Just look at your languages, everyone can see how Khmers like yourself are Barbarians and primitive beings.
9:48 PM,
You have had a very big mouthpiece to confuse anyone internationally. You are either Siam or Yuon were originally from China during Mongol Empire invasion into China. You are the one who is trying to cover up the fake information to bloggers on the internet to read, trying to destroy Khmer identity just you (both Thai and Vietnamese) would never exit today.
You are the most hypocrite barbarian yourself that we have never seen because your comment to save your Yuon/Vietnamese or Siam/Thai faces on the planet in order to do businesses to make profit and get rich or show off by stealing the Cambodian/Khmer heritage that the world has wondered and admired.
Khmer kings and heroes were sent to Indonesia to get educate and some migrants from India were married to Khmer origins. They built Angkor Complex that had no matches to Indian Temple.
You are the one who is a thief and who is very jealous. You want the world and tourists from around the world to think Khmer/Cambodian people are very bad. Your bad mouthpieces like other Thai and Vietnamese manipulators have gone all over the places.
Yes, you want the words admire your fake and cheap history that is made all up to these days.
To 9:48 PM,
You are paid to attack Khmer identity and integrity and mostly confuse some weak Khmer people about it genuine history. This professional lying and manipulation of communism style propaganda has been using within CPP and Yuon Hanoi agents to fool Khmer.
You are assigned to work in this blog like Buth Savung or Tep Vong who are assigned to work within the Buddhism religion and make many ignorant Khmer people to lose their soul.
Soon your job will end and you'll change your direction to join others in praising Khmer race because you are a survivor in any regime. You have no integrity or shame and live like parasite and parrot thus make living to please your master. This is a real Kanh Jeah Keh (Slave) just like ah Hun Sen and his cronies.
There are many people who do the same work like you, that's why the CPP and Hanoi are able to fool Khmer ignorant.
May be you are old enough to remember the word "Kab Yuon" (slaughter the Vietnamese)in 1970? Well if you don't then do your research and be afraid, be very afraid!!!
The history will repeat itself like the era of TRUONG MINH YANG, during King Ang Chan and Princess Ang Mey when Vietnamese used Khmer's heads as the makeshift stove to boil water and make tea for the ONG LEUNG.
And don't have high hope for the international community to scream for you. They couldn't be bothered, just like Gadaffi assassination!!!
Your master's calculation will face havoc so does your career, then you will go back to do fishing as usual and drown your soul to wash your sin.
Yuons and Thais are thieves of khmer lands and culture.They were from China,their homeland.
They should return to their source.
Khmers are the owner of the indochina.Even Chams were from
Indonesia in second century.
We khmer people are one of
the world<s great civilizations
with Angkor wat as the masterpiece
and symbole of khmer`s soul.
