CLC supported Vorn Pov, president of its affiliate Independent Democratic Informal Economic Association, when Pov stood trial in 2014 on charges of intentional damage following the 2013–2014 Cambodian protests. Also in that year, CLC supported 17 bus drivers, who were fired by Phnom Penh bus company Sorya Bus when they tried to start a union. In September, Sorya Bus reinstated three and paid severance to nine others while CLC filed a lawsuit questioning the legality of the firing of the remaining five. In October, CLC organised a rally in front of the Ministry of Labour, protesting new union registration rules that they claimed were aimed at preventing union growth.
