Cambodian worker's representatives ask for a $14 increase of the minimum wage in 2025, employers propose a $1 raise

Representatives of Cambodia's garments, footwear and travel good industries have met with employers at the Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training to present their initial proposals for wage adjustments. The two sides seem to struggle agreeing over market competitiveness and the costs of logistics. However, labour minister Heng Sour noted that this year's wage negotiation has been more mature than they have been in previous years which he attributes to a greater unity among workers representatives. The ministry will vote for the final figures on September 26th.
