Kampuchea's labor department voted to raise the minimum monthly wage of clothing workers by 11 dollars.

Compared with the demands of several major trade unions, this figure is too small, so workers will have a massive strike next week.

Last week, the labor advisory board, official representatives, factory representatives and trade union leaders decided to raise the minimum wage by 5 dollars.

They also approved a plan to merge the current $6 living allowance into the basic wage, so the minimum wage will increase from $50 per month to $61.

However, the new wage standard is likely to be implemented until October, until 2014.

The government, workers and trade unions have agreed on this.

But some union leaders have asked for a minimum wage of 70-93 dollars.

For example, CheaMony, the leader of the Kingdom of Cambodia workers' free trade union, warned that workers would start a 3 day strike starting in July 13th if the government did not consider raising the minimum wage to $70.

As last week's meeting decided to raise the minimum wage to $61, Mony confirmed that workers would go on strike.

Van Sou Ieng, President of GMAC, Kampuchea Garment Manufacturers Association, said that if Kampuchea's minimum wage exceeds $61, investors will suspend investment plans for Kampuchea.
