About 500 workers at the Tack Fat factory held a strike on 28 March 2011. The workers burnt tires and closed National Road No. 2 in Chak Angre Leu commune, Meanchey district, Phnom Penh city. The workers refused to accept the resolution imposed by the factory owners who claimed that they went bankrupt and they refused to pay the remaining of their salary as stipulated by law.
