[2] BWTUC is affiliated with the Cambodian Confederation of Labour and has received funding from Building and Wood Workers International.
In 2013, BWTUC criticised government construction inspectors for being corrupt and not doing their job, leading to unsafe buildings.
[6] Following a meeting between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and garment workers, BWTUC sent letters to Sen in August and November 2017, calling for a meeting where protections for construction workers could be discussed.
While still waiting for a response, the union said that it would send another letter on Human Rights Day.
[7] The union also released a survey of more than 1,000 construction workers in Pnhom Penh, which found that 90 percent of the workers were unaware of Cambodia's National Social Security Fund, which would cover medical bills if their employer and they are registered.
