Cambodia Casino Staff Strike for Better Pay

Thousands of Cambodian workers at a Phnom Penh casino have gone on strike for higher pay. About 3000 workers joined the rare walkout in front of the NagaWorld complex. The protesters held banners and cheered as dozens of police officers watched over the protest.
The Hong-Kong registered owner, Nagacorp Ltd, has a 70-year lease on the casino and says it made a profit of $245 million mainly from its Cambodia operations in the first six months of 2019.
The company website boasts it is âone of the worldâs most profitable gaming companiesâ and enjoyed a turnover of $1.4 billion in 2018.
But workers, who earn between $190â300 a month, say the rewards have not trickled down to them.
âWe are demanding a pay increase to $500 a month for casino staff and $300 for people who work in the hotel,â trade unionist Chhim Sithar said.
The protesters are also demanding the reinstatement of a union president who was suspended by the company in September after she tried to protect a workerâs rights.
âThe company made a huge profit in recent years,â said Sithar, the suspended union official.
Company management could not be reached immediately for comment.
NagaCorp, which has the exclusive licence to operate in Phnom Penh until 2065, is building a third casino in the capital hoping to lasso in more VIP customers from China, who beat a ban on gambling in the mainland by going on overseas junkets.
