H&M in second mass faint

The second mass fainting to hit a factory in Kampong Chnnang that supplies knitwear for H&M this week has prompted intervention from provincial labour officials and an investigation by the Swedish-based company. The International Labour Organisation, which monitors the M&V factory where as many as 198 people fainted yesterday, acknowledged that inadequate nutrition was a concern and that it was “discussing how the industry could provide sustainable solutions to this sad situation”.  The ILO’s statement follows reports from garment workers and union representatives that workers cannot afford to feed themselves on the 30 US cents an hour they earn for working 48 hours a week.
