柬埔寨服装厂改善工作条件

Cambodian garment factories improve working conditions
The International Labour Organization's Better Factories Cambodia's (ILO-BFC) 33rd Synthesis Report released on Friday, notes that for the second year in a row, the number of confirmed cases of child labour (typically workers between 12 and 15 years old) has dropped from 65 in 2013 to 28 in 2014 and 16 in 2015.
The report presents an overview of the status of compliance with the labour law in the factories where the programme operates. The findings are based on ILO-BFC factory assessment reports on 381 garment factories and cover the period between May 2015 and April 2016.
The findings also indicate that important improvements have been made since early 2014 when the BFC programme resumed the practice of publicly reporting its findings.
The report also indicates that the top ten non-compliance issues remain the same as in the previous year including issues related to occupational safety in the workplace, overtime, and temperature levels in the factory.
While an increase of some compliance levels is a positive signal for the garment industry and their workers, there is also a need for further improvement in common areas of non-compliance that are indicated in the report” said Esther Germans, Programme Manager of the ILO-BFC.
“The ILO-BFC programme will continue to collaborate with its constituents to promote the growth and sustainability of the industry,” she added. (SH)

柬埔寨服装厂改善工作条件
据本周五国际劳工组织（ILO）的柬埔寨更佳工厂计划（BFC）第33次综合报告显示，雇佣童工（通常是12岁至15岁）现象连续第二年有所缓解，2013年雇佣童工65名，2014年28名，2015年16名。
自2015年5月到2016年4月，国际劳工组织对柬埔寨381家服装工厂进行了检查，调查显示正在运营的服装工厂大多数遵守劳动法。
研究结果还表明，自2014年初以来，柬埔寨更佳工厂计划取得了重要的进步。
报告还表明，一些问题仍然存在，其中包括在工作场所与职业安全相关的问题，加班和温度等。
针对一些不符，国际劳工组织（ILO）的柬埔寨更佳工厂计划项目总监Esther Germans要求服装厂进一步改善公共区域的条件。
她补充道，ILO-BFC计划将继续发挥其职能，促进经济增长和可持续发展。
