At least 1,500 garment workers in Bangladesh have been sacked after a week of protests over pay, say police.
Two trucks, carrying Cambodian garment factory workers, crashed into each other Tuesday morning, claiming the lives of four female workers with some 50 others injured, a local official confirmed.
A new study indicated that 43. 2 percent of Cambodian garment workers suffered from anemia and 15. 7 percent of workers are underweight, the International Labor Organization (ILO) said Monday.
Cambodian trade unions on Wednesday launched a campaign to demand a 177 U.S. dollars monthly minimum wage in the garment and footwear sector, the current monthly minimum wage being 100 U.S. dollars, unionists and officials said.
Representatives of 18 opposition-aligned trade unions and associations on Wednesday called a weeklong strike scheduled for April 17-22.
At least 104 workers at two Cambodian factories fainted on Thursday morning due to exposures to chemical substances, the country's union and factory officials said.
A majority of garment and shoe workers have returned to work as factories reopened on Thursday after a week-long closure due to nationwide strikes over wage; however, protesting trade unions were still leading workers to go on strikes.
