Ministry to discuss wage increase for garment workers

PHNOM PENH, 1 January 2013 (The Cambodia Herald) –The Ministry of Social Affairs, Veterans and Youth Rehabilitation has urged clothing and footwear workers to keep working pending salary negotiations.

A statement issued by Minister Ith Sam Heng Monday said a working group had appealed to organizations, unions, workers and employers to maintain stability.

The announcement came a day after union leaders Rong Chhun and Yang Sophorn led workers in a protest demanding salary increases of $61 to $150 a month.

Basic salaries of clothing and footwear workers are currently $61 a month. Cambodia's 400 garment factories employ about 400,000 workers.
