The
International Labor Organization’s Better Factories Cambodia (BFC) program said
the situation of factories in Cambodia is better.
Three of
the twelve factories in the Low Compliance group made 33 verifiable
improvements and, as a result, moved off the Low Compliance list and One third
of the 92 factories included in the ‘Critical Issues’ list made improvements on
21 basic legal requirements in anticipation of their inclusion in the report.
The total number of Critical Issues violations in this group of factories fell
from 134 to 87 between April and June 2014 a 35% improvement.
Most of
the factories in Cambodia are textile, garment and footwear industry. Last year
those factories contributed US$5 billion to total export and employed more than
620,000 workers who received over US$1 billion annually in wage and salaries.
