In Cambodia, at least 23 garment workers were injured Monday when police used stun batons to disperse a protest at a factory that makes clothing for the U.S. company Nike. Thousands of workers, most of them women, had blocked a road outside the factory. They are demanding an additional $14 a month on top of their $74-per-month minimum wage. Earlier this month 6 workers were killed in a collapse at another Cambodian factory that made shoes for the Japanese firm Asics.
