Cambodian Cross Sector Confederation

About Us

1- Background of CCC

The Cambodian Cross Sector Confederation (CCC) represents workers across various sectors in 19 provinces, including mining, energy, garment, agriculture, transportation, and manufacturing. It stands as a global advocate for improved working conditions and trade union rights in Cambodia.

CCC actively challenges the dominance of multinational corporations and engages in negotiations at local, national, and international levels. Its mission revolves around advocating for a more equitable model of globalization and fostering a socio-economic framework that prioritizes people, democracy, and social justice.

Established on October 23, 2023, CCC emerged from the consolidation of several former workers' union federations, namely FUFU, INTUFE, and CULL. The organization serves as a unified platform for diverse stakeholders, including workers, farmers, youth, and women, aiming to bolster unions and associations, conduct research, ensure quality assurance, and advocate for policy transparency and accountability.

Furthermore, CCC is dedicated to upholding human rights, democracy, and social justice principles. It seeks to influence decision-making processes to secure rights, freedoms, decent work, and an improved standard of living for its members and the wider community.
