[G]arment workers across Cambodia and across the world will take action demanding an increase in the minimum wage to US$177 a month...They demand brands, including H&M – one of the largest buyers from Cambodia – show leadership by committing to the immediate increase in the minimum wage to US$177. The day of action builds on intense campaigning by Cambodian workers who have been demanding an increase in the minimum wage in order to take crucial steps towards the payment of a living wage since late 2013. In early January, wage struggles escalated when police and military cracked down on wage protests and 23 workers were arrested and 4 died. The current minimum wage level of US$100 a month is just 25% of the estimated living wage by the Asia Floor Wage, and means many of the 500,000 garment workers in Cambodia are unable to afford even the most basic necessities...H&M last year announced a pilot project in Cambodia as part of its Road Map to a Living Wage, and yet they have failed to announce any benchmarks or figures around what a living wage would mean in the country. Clean Clothes Campaign is calling on them to show their commitment to the workers who produce their clothes.
