Name Webpage capture on the news article of police block garment workers marching to Hun Sen’s house
Description

This webpage capture shows about workers attempted to submit a petition at Prime Minister Hun Sen’s house, seeking a resolution after their factory shut down without providing benefit payments. Workers were asking that the Ministry of Labor come to an agreement with the factory owner that would guarantee them seniority indemnity and compensation pay. They decided to march to Hun Sen’s house as the government had failed to find a solution to their problems. After police blocked the march, the demonstrators returned to the Labor Ministry where they later met with officials who had promised to find a solution for them. On September 7, a Labor Ministry official said the company had submitted proper notice of closure that would exempt them from paying workers. The same day, about 200 workers delivered a petition to EU's delegation in Phnom Penh asking them to push European brands which produce at the factory to help workers secure benefit payments.
