Union law debated
The first meeting of a bipartisan committee to work out criticisms of the controversial draft trade union law resulted in what unions considered meagre concessions, although the opposition hailed the process’ cooperative spirit.
According to Sok Eysan, spokesman for the ruling Cambodian People’s Party and chief of the CPP’s wing of the committee, both parties agreed to reduce the number of unions required to form a federation from nine to seven and the number of federations required to form a confederation from six to five.
