Solidarity Statement for Cambodian Garment Workers!
In solidarity with the garment workers in Cambodia, Bukluran ng Manggagawang Pilipino (BMP) - Solidarity of Filipino Workers - condemns in the highest possible terms the state terrorism and violence unleashed by the government against the workers in Cambodia.
For almost three decades the Cambodian Government in cahoots with capitalist in the garment industries used violence and suppression to cut down the struggle for better wages and the right to self organization through constant assassination and arrest of workers.
The struggle of the garment workers in Cambodia is not only about the struggle for wage hike, it is about freedom and social change!Let the actions of the garment workers inspire other workers to stand and fight against neo - liberal agenda and state impunity that undermines the right of workers for peaceful and concerted efforts towards development, the right to collective bargain and the right to freedom of association.
In spite of constant threat of imprisonment and violence, the garment workers stood firm and hold their ground. We salute the workers specially women and the people of Cambodia who resisted and continue to resist the state oppression.
Time and again, the only language that the capitalist knew in handling labour concerns has always been violence not only in Cambodia also around the world. Never again should the workers be afraid of suppression. Never again to any form of violence against the workers
We are calling all workers to unite with the garment workers in Cambodia.
Let us not let capitalist greed destroy the right of the workers. Let the struggle of Cambodian garment workers be the start for a higher form of struggle and resistance.
Let us launch solidarity actions to support the workers in Cambodia. Let us call for the boycott of all products coming from the capitalist industries who are staging this violence against the workers! Let us show the people of Cambodia that they are not alone! No to State Violence! Stop the arrest and Killings of Workers.
Workers Unite!
