Phnom Penh: Mr. Chhum Veasna, President of the Cambodian Youth Workers Union (CYTUC), on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, rejected the media coverage and claims that the workers’ blockade of National Road 3 was due to the expulsion of the union. For the union leader based in the factory, the coverage intentionally distorted the truth and created confusion because there was no agenda on the expulsion of the union in the discussion, as no union was expelled.
Mr. Chhum Veasna: “As the most representative local union at Kozhi Nit Company, I would like to confirm that the claim that the closure of National Road 3 was due to discrimination against trade union rights is false because the negotiations on Wednesday morning did not discuss any topic of discrimination against trade unions, and no trade union was suspended by the company.”
At the same time, he calls on all civil society organizations and journalists to seek information from clear sources, hold discussions with local unions in companies to obtain balanced information, and avoid disseminating information that does not have clear sources that may cause misunderstandings.
This statement was made after civil society and some media outlets reported that the closure of National Road 3 by workers at the Kozhinit factory was due to the dismissal of union members.
Please note that through the immediate intervention of the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training, the demands of the workers and employees at the Kozhi Nit factory were immediately resolved on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, on 18 demands, while the workers and employees will return to work tomorrow, July 9, 2026.
