PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - Workers at a large Cambodian garment factory that makes clothes for Levi's, Gap and other well-known international brands are striking for more pay and better working conditions.
More than 5,000 workers from the Singaporean-owned SL Garment Processing (Cambodia) Ltd. failed to reach an agreement with their employers Tuesday to end an 11-day strike.
The director of the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers said workers are demanding an increase in their $61 monthly salaries. He said they want a $5 salary hike and an extra $25 a month for transportation and housing.
SL Garment's website says it makes clothes for labels that include J. Crew, Banana Republic, H&M and Levi's, whose website in turn lists the company as a supplier.
