Vietnam: wage rises of 40% in 18 months could not prevent riots
02/06/2014
Workers typically go on wildcat strikes twice a year for four or five days at a time, the unnamed manager told the newspaper. He suggested that this often happens when it becomes public knowledge that government officials are receiving an increase in salary.
He said his company has had to increase wages by about 40% in the last 18 months to contain what it felt was a volatile situation. He likened the situation to being “in hot fat”, and said that gamrnet manufacturers and other producers might deny the seriousness of the situation but would still not be able to escape it.
