The chairman of the the Coalition of Cambodian Apparel Workers Democratic Union, the chairman of Ath Thorn, said that on the 21 th of this month, the canal discussed with six other trade unions what to do next.

The canal said it would make a decision that day.

The meeting said that the outcome of the meeting depends on whether most workers agree to strike in order to raise the minimum wage next year.

The canal says that most workers are not satisfied with $140 according to the canal.

Pav Sina, chairman of the the Collective Union of Movement of Workers, also said that the trade unions also disagreed with the government's minimum wage of $140.

The canal says that this is not just the Union's disagreement, nor does the other unions agree.

But the canal said strike would only take place when international garment buyers in Kampuchea disagreed to raise salaries.

The canal said that the strike would not take place immediately, and that the next step would be followed by the negotiations between the canal and other international buyers.

So far only Switzerland.

The company publicly supports the minimum salary of the Kampuchea government.

Kampuchea workers went to the streets from the end of 2013 to the beginning of 2014. In order to raise their minimum salaries, they finally turned into bloodshed, when the minimum salary was $100.

As a result, 4 people were killed under the powerful government strike.

Finally, the increase to US $128 and workers also stopped strike demonstrations because they had been satisfied with the increase of US $28.
