Cambodia’s Ministry of Labor
and Vocational Training (MOLVT), the ILO Country Office for Thailand, Cambodia
and Lao PDR (ILO CO), the Embassy of Sweden in Cambodia, the Swedish fashion
company H&MHennes & Mauritz AB, and IF Metall, the Swedish trade union federation,
launched officially on 12 June a multi-year initiative to improve industrial
relations in the Cambodian garment industry.
The project is supported
financially by Sweden and H&M, with in-kind contribution and support from
IF Metall, and will be implemented by the ILO. The project will work
intensively in a select number of H&M supplier factories, many of which
have several trade unions. Unions and management in the factory will be
encouraged to sign enterprise-level versions of the industry-wide MOU on
Improving Industrial Relations in the Garment Industry, which was signed by
GMAC and 8 union confederations in 2012.
The Ministry will benefit from
improved confidence of our conciliators, more accurate and transparent record
keeping, and improved application of laws and regulations. The ILO encourages
this collaborative effort involving national and international partners and
looks forward to ensuring that this enterprise-level work will bring
significant benefits to both the industry and the Cambodian workers.
