Cambodian garment factory workers ** demand to continue to raise wages

According to a report by the *Financial Times* on September 14, Cambodian garment workers launched a five-day campaign on Monday to demand a raise in the monthly minimum wage, from $50 to $61. However, labor unions have pushed for a much higher increase, calling for a minimum wage of $93 per month. This growing unrest is part of a broader wave of labor activism sweeping across Asia, with similar protests taking place in China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh. As global supply chains continue to rely heavily on low-cost labor, rising demands for fair wages are putting pressure on manufacturers and governments alike. The situation highlights the increasing tension between workers seeking better conditions and companies trying to maintain profitability in a competitive market. With more workers organizing and demanding change, it's clear that labor rights are becoming a central issue in the region’s industrial landscape.
