Panellists at the first “Permanent People’s Tribunal” on wages and conditions for Cambodian garment workers…released their findings, declaring that a living wage...should be considered a “human right”. The hearing included...testimony by workers, labour experts and brand-name buyers. While panellists did not specify what a living wage was, they called on the government to develop “standards and methods” for calculating one and found that the “minimum living wage should clearly identify food costs to be no more than 50 per cent of the overall wage package”. A representative from the Asia Floor Wage Campaign, which organised the hearing, took it a step further…[saying] that the monthly minimum wage for garment workers in Cambodia should be US$281. That figure represents more than four times the current monthly minimum wage for garment workers of $66, which includes a $5 health bonus added last month.
