The poster illustrates the $160 monthly minimum wage demand ^[2] of Cambodia garment workers.The current standard is $80 but the government is only willing to grant a $15 increase. A nationwide strike was launched by workers last December but this was violently dispersed ^[3] by the police early this month.
