Dismissed Cambodian luxury hotel workers face 'cultural protection' police and political pressure
IUF
Uniting food, farm and hotel workers world-wide
Five months after their mass dismissal for exercising their fundamental right to form a union, 67 workers continue to hold peaceful demonstrations daily in front of the five star Angkor Village Hotel and Angkor Village Botanical Resort Hotel in Siem Reap. Ignoring court orders and growing international condemnation, the hotel owners, Olivier Piot and Tep Vattho, have responded with more fabricated charges against the workers and wielded political influence through APSARA, a local government agency whose official role is to protect the Angkor World Heritage Site.
CLICK HERE to send a message to the Cambodian Ministry of Tourism calling on the government to fulfill its commitment to promote ethical and responsible tourism by ensuring that the owners of Angkor Village Hotel stop abusing the authority of APSARA and immediately reinstate all the dismissed workers with back pay and recognize their unions.
