Factory owners to resist wage increase in Cambodia
19/08/2015
It said the development, which came out of a survey of employers in the sector, makes labour disputes likely in the later part of this year.
In the survey, almost 90% of members of the Garment Manufacturers’ Association in Cambodia (GMAC), said they supported no wage increase at all for 2016 or a small increase of between $1 and $5 per month for each worker.
Minimum wages in the sector at the moment are $128 per month; unions have asked for this to go up to $177 per month next year.
Around 600,000 people now work in garment factories in Cambodia.
