Responding to a protest by 44 former condom-packer employees, Population Services Khmer and its once-parent organisation, Population Services International, denied violating the law by ending the packers’ employment last week.

In a letter sent to the Post last Thursday, PSK and PSI said that they had given the workers all required benefits and had met with them several times to explain that their contracts had been ended because of a “change in product procurement and limited in-country packaging needs”.
