Factories in three special economic zones (SEZs) remained closed yesterday as unrest over the minimum wage in Svay Rieng province’s Bavet town continued into its third day.

Thousands of workers walked off the job on Wednesday afternoon, after employees unhappy with what they say is an inadequate rise in the national garment industry’s minimum wage, recently set at $140 for 2016, began protesting at the Kingmaker Footwear factory in the Manhattan SEZ.
