Organizing Unit
CENTRAL’s Organizing Unit is tasked with training independent labor activists, union leaders, and Cambodian working people in Cambodian labor law and the fundamental rights they are legally entitled to. Their overall strategic goal is to contribute to stronger respect for workers’ fundamental freedoms and the recognition of unions' rights.
Key Interventions:
1./ Organize workers from various sectors, disseminate information on freedom of association, workers’ rights and union rights.
2./ Conduct capacity building trainings and workshops on internal trade union democratic education and other relevant topics such as social protection / the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) so that workers enhance their understanding of union activities and roles, as well as their awareness of legal rights so that they can exercise them effectively.
3./ Together with the Protection Team, provide training on the Labor Law, Trade Union Law, and other relevant laws for workers in different sectors so that they are aware of their rights and empowered to exercise them.
