Title: Workers demanding rise in minimum wage.

Consumer Interest: Labor Issues (change)

"20,000 workers from up to 69 different garment factories in Cambodia went on strike from June 21-27, 2000 in order to demand a rise in the minimum wage from $40 to $70 per month. At least nine clothing companies, including H&M;, source from these factories. Although they have returned to work, workers have pledged to continue striking in the future if there is no resolution on the minimum wage issue."
