Ten days ago, #Cambodia announced that garment sector minimum wage will rise from $170 to $182/month in 2019 💰
That’s a rise of 7%! 📈 Sounds pretty good, right? 😃
WRONG 👎
Minimum wage analysis 👇
The minimum wage for garment and footwear workers in Cambodia has risen 10 times in 22 years since it was introduced in 1997, the last 8 times in each of the last 8 years.
Yesterday’s increase of 7% adds to a total increase of 355% over 22 years.
Lucky garment workers 🍀?
