This arbitral award is issued by the Arbitrator Council on the issue between Hwa Long (Cambodia) Footwear Industry Co., Ltd. (employer) and the ​Workers' representatives in resolving collective labor disputes of Hwa Long (Cambodia) Footwear Industry Co., Ltd. (employee). According to the award, 4 points are demanded by the employee side and are yet to be resolved including 1) the company allows the trade union to have two hours per week for union activities without employer interference and does not terminate or switch the shifts of union members; 2) the company renew employment contracts for eight union members; 3) when there is no work, the company suspends workers’ employment contracts instead of terminating them; and 4) the company provides one mask per day to all workers. The outcome of the arbitral award was that the Council did not make an order regarding the first or third demands. The employer was ordered to pay compensation for terminated workers and to provide enough masks to the remaining workers. This was a non-binding award.
