IndustriALL campaigns globally for a living wage

One of the most spectacular mobilizations has taken place in Cambodia where 500,000 garment workers toil very long hours to make ends meet.

In July this year a worker by the name of Vorn Tha died after working several days in a row, from 7 am to 10 pm. This has to stop! Cambodian unions together with IndustriALL and our global allies have mobilized to reach a considerable minimum wage increase.

A colorful global action day took place in September, and finally a 28 per cent increase was achieved. $US 128 per month is still far away from a living wage so the fight continues.
