The article discusses Cambodian union representatives advocating for a $22.20 increase in the minimum wage for garment and footwear workers, raising it to $214.20 for 2022. This demand is based on factors like cost of living, inflation, and improved industry conditions. Unions argue that workers face rising costs, while the export sector's recovery benefits employers. The National Council Minimum Wage will review the proposal on September 7. Employers, represented by GMAC, oppose the increase, citing potential negative impacts on investment and operational costs. The debate reflects the tension between worker needs and economic sustainability amid pandemic recovery.
