A delegation from the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong representing major brands, like Walmart, Target, Adidas, and Ralph Lauren raised their concern over the controversial law that the Cambodian Government is drafting to regulate the country’s trade unions. The Government recently slashed the proposed threshold for unionizing to just 10 people as compared to 20 per cent of the employees at a given factory, which was set earlier. The delegates would be closely watching the evolution of this law as it could play a pivotal role in investment decisions. They also stressed the importance of workplace safety and programs to train the garment industry’s future technicians and managers.
