The tripartite commission (union, government, employers) tasked with determining the minimum wage for workers in the textile, garment and footwear industries have agreed to increase the minimum wage to $182, beginning January 2019.
...Prime Minister Hun Sen decided to add an extra $5 to bring the total up to $182 and that there would be no changes to existing benefits and allowances.
...the government will reduce electricity cost to about $0.15 per kilowatt-hour.
Ath Thorn, president of the Cambodian Labour Confederation, on the other hand, finds the increase not high enough for the workers, but accepts it nolens volens.
