Concerns about the situation of Cambodian migrant workers and recommendations from civil society organization

Migrant Working Group  submitted concerns to the Minister of Labor regarding the labor situation in Cambodia, urging them to urgently address the labor shortage after over 300,000 people have returned home. They stated that while they distrust their own government, they are unsure about Thailand's safety and its nationalism. They proposed 10 recommendations for managing Cambodian workers, including: protecting their safety, opening fast-track registration channels, exempting them from visa applications, and establishing a working group to address the border labor shortage. Meanwhile, the Fisheries Association revealed that four eastern provinces are experiencing severe hardship, while the Sugarcane Farmers Association is preparing for the December sugarcane harvesting season.
