Kampuchea Garment Industry Workers' Rights And Interests Again

Recently, the rights and interests of workers in the clothing industry have received more attention. The UN forum further standardizing the code of conduct for clothing companies to enhance their rights and interests and working conditions.

Most Kampuchea workers only have 0.8 euros a day (about 5.4 yuan) to feed themselves.

According to the latest news from foreign media, it is pointed out that

Leaders, supplier countries, trade union workers, moral investors and human rights groups have agreed in United Nations enterprises and human rights forums to further standardize strict commercial code of conduct and supply chain audit to improve the rights and conditions of workers and working conditions, especially in poor production countries such as Kampuchea and Bangladesh.

Although they still differ in the way of change, it is possible to provide more consistent with the standards of the global core labor, and how to share the cost more equitably under the conditions of raising production level.

Johan Andresen, chairman of the ethics committee of the global pension fund, said: "famous brands have strict codes of conduct, but obviously, auditing is far from enough."

The Norway government Global Pension Fund ethics committee is the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. It has invested more than 9000 companies worldwide in the amount of US $900 billion.

He said buyers and suppliers must cooperate to prevent labor violations.

In 2014, the Committee has started a comprehensive analysis of fund companies in Kampuchea and

Illegal activities.

He said they found serious violations in the local independent investigation.

Under the guiding principles of the United Nations on commerce and human rights in 2011, it stipulates that the company has the duty to respect their human rights in the supply chain.

The committee said its adherence to the policy was "companies should investigate their subcontractors and assess where the risk of irregularities is greatest."

Margreet Vrieling, FWF's international verification coordinator of the fair dress foundation, said that over the past 15 years, companies have already had relevant codes of conduct, but little progress has been made.

The FWF is headquartered in Amsterdam. It is an independent, non-profit organization.

FWF's 80 employees represent about 120 brands, which work to improve the conditions of garment workers and assess whether they meet the agreed standards.

Vrieling said: "social dialogue is lacking in most garment producing countries, and it is one of the main obstacles to regulation."

He emphasized the importance of dialogue between management and workers in the factory.
