But Ken Loo, secretary-general of the Garment Manufacturers’ Association of Cambodia, said sexual harassment was not endemic in the industry, and that it was rather a case of “friendly behaviour being misconstrued as sexual advances”.
Ocean Garment yesterday refused to meet the sole demand of thousands of striking workers to have their manager, accused of sexual harassment, sacked.
An inter-governmental ministerial committee met with union and employer representatives, but Bangladeshi-owned Ocean Garment – which supplies retail titan Gap – refused to terminate the manager accused by workers of misconduct.
More than 2,500 of the Phnom Penh factory’s 4,000-strong work force have been on strike since August 11, and the allegedly abused women yesterday announced they would be pressing criminal charges.
Worker representative Keo Kim Heang said workers were left feeling thwarted, having expected a positive outcome.

It's been marked by violence, fervent protests and a stream of recriminations, but now bureaucracy is hampering efforts to resolve the seven-week-long strike at the Tai Yang and Camwell factories, which supply Levi’s and Gap, a trade-union advocate said yesterday.
Dave Welsh, country director of the American Center for International Labor Solidarity, told the Post yesterday that Social Affairs Minister Ith Sam Heng was delaying penning a letter to of the factory owners that would likely end the dispute.
“It’s incredibly frustrating,” Welsh said yesterday after a meeting with the remaining 40 strikers. “It could have been resolved two Fridays ago.”
Welsh met with Sam Heng on August 3 to discuss the letter, which would order the company to reinstate strikers it claims to have sacked.

Licadho condemns violence against CCAWDU workers at Kingsland garment factory

VIOLENCE AGAINST UNION MEMBERS CONDEMNED
VIOLENCE AGAINST UNION MEMBERS CONDEMNED
The Cambodian League for the Defense and Promotion of Human Rights (LICADHO) condemns the violent crackdown by authorities against workers on strike outside a Phnom Penh garment factory yesterday.
At least 10 members of the Cambodia Confederation of Apparel Worker Democratic Unions (CCAWDU) were injured in the violence. Four were struck by vehicles leaving the factory at high speed, and the remainder beaten by police or military police officers.
On January 11, more than 700 CCAWDU members working at in Meanchey District went on strike. They demanded the Kingsland Garment factoryreinstatement of 19 union representatives fired by the factory in June 2007, and that the factory management to keep its previous promises to respect labor rights. The factory owner, however, did not open any negotiations with the strikers.
At about 3pm yesterday, February 6, about 500 union members gathered in front of factory to complain that the factory management had not paid salaries owed to them for the period up to January 11, the start of their strike. Other remaining workers inside had been paid. Upset that the factory owner or managers did not come to meet them, the strikers then moved toward the entrance of the factory to block cars from leaving, in an attempt to persuade the owner to pay the outstanding salaries before the Chinese New Year.
Soon after, Chak Angre Krom commune chief Chea Sokay, accompanied by a group of 25 police and military police, arrived at the factory and ordered the union members to stop blocking the entrance. As workers did not agree to disperse, Chea Sokay then gestured for two cars to leave the factory while police and military police were ordered to push back the workers.
Two cars speedily left the factory, hitting several workers on their way out. Four female workers, aged 18-25, suffered injuries to their legs or torso. A further six workers were injured by police or military police officers who beat them with their hands and ICOM radios. Five of the injured workers were hospitalized in a medical clinic.
LICADHO condemns the excesssive use of violence by the authorities, without any attempt first to negotiate a peaceful resolution between the strikers and factory owner. It urges an investigation and punishment of those responsible for injuring the workers.
This incident is part of a long pattern of violence against union representatives and members at garment factories in recent years, which reflects poorly on the standard of protection for labor rights in Cambodia. As the Minister of Commerce and other government officials have stated repeatedly, the garment sector is vital to Cambodia’s economy. It is in the best interests of all Cambodians and the Royal Cambodian Government that the government fully commit itself to the protection of labor rights as guaranteed by the Cambodian Constitution and other national laws.
