[2] CLC also signed a memorandum of understanding together with the Garment Manufacturers Association of Cambodia (GMAC) that year that supported the right to collective bargaining.
In 2012, CLC organised strikes at Win Shing-tex Cambodia garment factory, demanding an increase in pay and the rehiring of fired union representatives.
[6] In 2013, CLC issued a statement calling for the conviction of Chhouk Bandith, a former governor of Bavet, Svay Rieng Province, who had shot and injured three workers during a protest there the year before.
Workers burned police vehicles and forced policemen into hiding inside a nearby pagoda until reinforcements fired into the riot with live ammunition and tear gas.
In September, Sorya Bus reinstated three and paid severance to nine others while CLC filed a lawsuit questioning the legality of the firing of the remaining five.
