Phnom Penh - Cambodia was facing one of its biggest industrial actions in years after a coalition of garment unions said Friday that 80,000 workers would strike next week in a dispute over the revised minimum wage.
Ath Thorn, the president of the Cambodian Labour Confederation, told the German Press Agency dpa that the work stoppage would run for five days starting Monday.
