The fight of the Cambodian workers is the same as the Bengalis ones. A single fight against the multinational companies in the entire Southeast Asian to achieve wages, decent work, housing, education and health!

Since May 21st, the workers of a textile factory of Cambodia located in the Kampong Speu city, at the west of Phnom Penh, the country’s capital; they have started a strike and a fight agenda for the raise on wages. The workers of this factory are claiming for an increase on u$s 14 for the transport, rent and health services, to the miserable wage of 74 u$s that the textile workers earn per month. The workers of this factory produce for the multinational company Nike. They mostly are women that earn 78 dollars for working as slaves when the Nike profits at least for… 20 thousands million dollars each year! Increase of Wages now for every textile Cambodian workers! A worker form Cambodia, Malasya or Vietnam should work thousands of years to earn what a Nike executive parasite earns per year in USA!
Long live the strike of the Cambodian workers! With the money that earns only the Nike company in the region we could have free transport and decent housing for everyone. We would have better health and free education for the workers and the poor people of Cambodia, Malaya, Bangladesh and the entire Southeast Asian. There is plenty of money, but it is taken away by the multinational companies in countries as Cambodian and the entire region.
The fight of the Cambodian workers is the same that the Bengali workers. A single fight against the multinational companies in the entire Southeast Asian to get wages, decent work, housing, education and health!

Expropriation without payment and under worker’s control of the region multinational companies!
The workers had blocked the roads in front of the Factory where they were brutally repressed by the police, leaving 23 wounded and making that one of the workers would lose her pregnancy because of the strikes. Murderous military! It is necessary to set up our self-defense committees to defend ourselves and defend our families from the murderous police that defend the earnings of the transnational companies!
Cynically, Nike stated that it was “concerned about the facts and that was investigating the facts”. There is nothing to investigate: That’s how it daily works the parasite capitalist system, exploiting millions of slaves under the boot of the worst capital dictatorship. The only concern of these imperialist parasites is to keep their earnings and productivity. Out the multinational companies of the Southeast Asian! Expropriation without payment and under worker control of the entire multinational companies so that there is decent work, wages, education, health and decent housing.
For the working class to live, the imperialism must die!
