PHNOM PENH -- Cambodia's largest casino operator, NagaWorld, has denied it targeted union members in mass layoffs last year that led to an ongoing strike.

NagaWorld employees on Tuesday began their 37th day of industrial action near Naga's complex in Phnom Penh, where the company holds a monopoly license to operate casinos.
