Charles Vögele commits to pay the legal minimum wage. But the legal minimum wage in Asia is not a living wage: It covers in average only 20-60% of the daily expenses. Workers have to do long hours of overtime to survive.
The legal minimum wage for a garment worker in Cambodia is 61 US-Dollar monthly. Charles Vögele sells a pair of pants made in Cambodia for 59.95 Swiss Franks.
The Asia Floor Wage Alliance brings together trade unions, NGOs and scientists across Asia and works with labour rights activists in Europe, Canada and the USA. The Asia Floor Wage Alliance demands a living wage for garment workers.
The Clean Clothes Campaign and the Berne Declaration support the Asia Floor Wage demand: Charles Vögele, pay a living wage to your garment workers!
