Cambodian clothing workers strike driven by rising fuel costs
Hundreds of garment workers in Cambodia’s Kampong Speu province went on strike in March, demanding improved benefits, including higher transportation and meal allowances, as rising fuel costs strain their daily expenses.
Gasoline and diesel prices across Cambodia have climbed to KHR5,500 (US$1.36) and KHR6,550 (US$1.62) per litre, according to the Ministry of Commerce, amid a global energy crunch linked to the US-Israeli war with Iran.
