Ver todas las etiquetas
The CEO of clothing giant H&M pushed Prime Minister Hun Sen to introduce annual garment worker wage reviews during a rare face-to-face meeting with the premier last month. H&M was the target of media uproar in Sweden last year over the treatment of workers employed to make garments for it in some 30 or more Cambodian factories...[H&M also met with labour unions...] Dave Welsh, country director for the Solidarity Center/ACILS, said of their meeting...“It was a very positive meeting, and it’s very rare that a global CEO of a major garment factory would be that engaged.”...“They were concerned about conflicts and also were concerned about the working conditions,” said Athit, whose union represents thousands of employees at SL Garment Processing...where a large-scale strike began almost three months ago...Ken Loo, secretary general of the Garment Manufacturers Association in Cambodia, said “I’m glad that this call came from the buyers, because ultimately it [wage rises] would have to come from the pocket of the buyers.”
