The intensity of work in many of Cambodia’s garment factories is brutal with continued reports in the last few years of workers fainting due to exhaustion. In a recent case last month, more than 100 workers were hospitalised due to toxic fumes. In another case, a worker ended up on a drip-line in hospital after her production quota was doubled. These inhumane conditions have spurred massive industrial action by garment workers in recent years.
