Acts of anti-union discrimination: 67 workers were dismissed from Siem Reap's Angkor Village Hotel and Resort for having tried to form a union. The arbitration council and provincial court ruled in favour of their reinstatement.

Physical assaults against trade unionists: A gunman opened fire into a crowd of over a thousand garment workers who were demonstrating in favour of better working conditions, wounding three. The alleged perpetrator Chhouk Bandith, governor of the Bavet region, was charged with "unintentional injury." However, he remains free and there appear to be no efforts to prosecute him for these crimes. Two men have been imprisoned for 20 years for the murder of Chea Vichea, former leader of the Free Trade Union of Workers of the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTUWKC). However, the trial was deeply flawed and few believe that Sok Sam Oeun and Born Samnang are actually guilty of the crime.

Sanctions against strike action: In September 2012, Rong Cchun, President of the Cambodia Confederation of Unions (CCU) as well as of the Cambodian Independent Teachers' Association (CITA), was charged with inciting Tai Yang Factory workers in Ang Snuol to go on an illegal strike. 4,000 Workers had gone on strike after management had refused to negotiate with them.
