Labor Activists Call Out Nike, Adidas, Puma Over Faintings
A local human rights group with strong international ties called
Friday on Adidas, Nike and Puma to take accountability for recent mass
faintings in Phnom Penh factories that produce their sportswear.
“We call on international brands such as Adidas, Puma and Nike to
take concrete measures to address wages that currently do not satisfy
basic needs nor provide for a life with human dignity,” the Cambodian
Legal Education Center (CLEC) said in a statement.
On Friday, 128 garment workers reportedly fainted in two separate
factories. This brought to 337 the total cases reported for the week.
The faintings occurred at the Shenzhou, Daqian Textile and New Wide
factories in Phnom Penh’s industrial Pur Senchey district. CLEC said
that staff at these three factories sew garments for one or all of the
foreign sportswear companies.
